When I put put Archive tape drives into a Xenix system, I put them in on
IRQ2. On a AT-style system, the IRQ2 line from the expansion bus goes
into IRQ9 of the interrupt controllers. Through magic, you tell Xenix
the card is on interrupt 25 (decimal). The 31 you see at boot is octal.
31 octal = 25 decimal.
