Original problem...
> Problem: trying to get com 3 and 4 working.
> I have just added a new I/O card with 2 serial ports for com 3 and 4.
> The hardware doesn't seem to automatically accept the two new ports.
It has been suggested that I need to disable the default com 3 and 4
switches on the motherboard, however after searching through what
seemed to a 40 or so pages 'reference manual', and looking around
(and testing varies jumpers) the motherboard, I didn't find anything
that helped.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can do?
I got the machine configed in HK. Not much help from there.
Please reply by e-mail. Many thanks in advance.
System board: InformTech 486DX/33.
P/S: By the way, what does the jumper J28 do? Not a word mentioned
on the manual. J 28
