One of my friends has just acquired a hand-held grey-scale scanner.
Can't remember the make off hand I'm afraid.

When the board is plugged into the IBM compatible PC, and the machine
rebooted, either his mouse stops working or his modem stops working.

His mous is on COM2 and the modem is internal, on COM3.

I have had a look for jumpers on the scanner board in case of
conflict, but there are no jumpers at all.

The Windows software allows a change of IRQ setting for the scanner,
but ALL of these settings work, with no help to the functioning of the
modem or mouse.

He has no manual either unfortunately!

Can someone please suggest something - other than unplugging the
scanner board when he wants to dial up the internet!!

Cheers,

Chris Watson
