Do I need to manipulate        things to get IRQ4 INT 0Ch working for 16-bit?              old 16 bit hardware had jumpers on COM/LPT add-on boards for setup IRQ-       number and CS aka I/O address.       modern stuff have this all emulated in the south-bridge (in the chip-set       on main board) and may or may not allow modification of their defaults.              how much do you already know about IRQ-redirection ?              it depends on your hardware if you need to modify anything.              and what are you trying to achieve with IRQ4 ?       is there any COM-port connected to it at all ? my PC don't have any.       __       wolfgang              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
