I have a Leading Edge Model D3, 386-DX 16MHz system. It is built around the DAEWOO motherboard. Recently one of the COM ports on my motherboard stopped working and since I've been considering installing a game port, I thought I'd get a multi I/O card. I don't think the I/O card and the MB ports can coexist so I'd like to know how to properly disable the ports built into the MB. The 2s/1p ports are on one LSI chip (in a square, recessed socket, I think it's called the PLCC package). I figured I could just set a jumper. The manual offers no help on how to do so. And all the MB jumpers in the manual are accounted for, so a jumper can't be the answer. Can I just pull the chip? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ I had a similar problem when my COM conflicted with a newer card. I just pulled the serial controller chip and everything was OK.
