Recommendation of unshared IRQ with USB 2.0 PCI-card; but three IRQs !!!

It is recommended, to give interrupt-intensive PCI-cards an unshared
IRQ. My USB2 PCI-card is such a card (Adaptec AUA-2000LP; 2 USB 2.0
outputs). However, this PCI-card does not only have one IRQ but three
!!!

They are the following ...

1. Adaptec AUA-2000LP PCI to USB Enhanced Host
Controller
2. NEC PCI-to-USB Open Host-Controller
3. NEC PCI-to-USB Open Host-Controller

So, do they all need to be unshared (pretty much impossible, actually)
or is it enough for certain ones to be on unshared IRQs?

With Device Manager/Computer in ACPI mode it is indeed hard (or
impossible?) to grant an unshared IRQ. But I do have an installation
with Device Manager / Computer in StandardPC mode. In this mode it is
possible to assign unshared IRQs, I believe.

Bad hardware designers use this as a,"Cop-out".Have you tried the card
just,"As-is" e.g just install it?

Yes. And I am having massive problems with USB2.
