Leave the card configured as is, but configure it as interrupt 9 in UNIX.

There is no interrupt 2 on an AT bus because that interrupt line is used
to cascade the second interrupt controller onto the first controller.
If you configure a card to use interrupt 2, it actually appears as interrupt
9 to the system.

MS-DOS software knows about this and does the remapping as appropriate. 

In UNIX you have to say it like it is.
