Today I went out and purchased a Cardinal 28.8 (MVP288I). I was the previous purchaser of a Cardinal 14.4 softmodem which required softwared to be downloaded into it's chip on use. I currently am using Windows for Workgroups and will be converting to Windows 95 in the near future. Carefully I tried to remove all traces of the 14.4 software on my system and then I removed the old 14.4 and installed the 28.8. Everything seems fine, I can use my modem completely under windows without any apparent problems. No problems that is *except* for this message when I try to boot Windows: Ring 0 Systems: Virtual 16550 Driver Board was not found in your computer! Virtual 16550 & communication buffering in the DOS box will not work. It may cause lost bytes during the data transfer or any other problems with communication software running under v86 DOS. Could someone shine a light on what this means? I thought that the 28.8 included a 16550 UART chip on board (at least the manual says it does). I really would like to tie this down fast because if the modem is no good, I want to take it back asap.. Thanks for any help you can give. -Todd tcocks@eagle.wbm.ca
