I think I might be having this problem too. I have been using COM2
with a printer, but when I tried connected a mouse to it, it wouldn't
work. When I tried connecting a modem to it, it wouldn't work. It
seems I can write to the port but not read from it. I don't think there
is a problem with the cable, since both the mouse and the modem work
on com1. The instructions for the serial card indicate I can change the
addresses of the ports, but there is no indication of what advantage
this would be if any.

It's called a "Super IDE I/O Card PT-606"

Do you suppose it's faulty?
