It doesn't conflict. You may be thinking of the VIRQ device /VI, but
that conflict doesn't happen on my machines because I renamed the

And like I said, it happens to all program modules I have tried,
regardless of their names -- in hg, something doesn't allow 6309
modules to run on a 6309 processor.
