So much for sio2k. -> use the previous version instead of sio2k With 1.60d, I got the same failure. So much for SIO working with my 2 port PCI card. Or so I thought ... Some time later, I tested the onboard COM1 port with PCBoard on DOS. Outbound transfers worked, but inbound failed. Puzzled, I looked at the BIOS and noticed that power was set on APM. I had it that way for OS/2, since Warp 4 does not understand ACPI. I set it back to ACPI, and DOS inbound transfers started working fine. So the motherboard is buggy when set for APM; the IRQ handling is messed up. Knowing that, I left it on ACPI and installed WARP 4 again. Now it all works. SIO 1.60d and my 2 port serial PCI card on IRQ 3. Amazing what a little BIOS setting can do. -> JK> Ray says Warp server ebiz fails when using serial ports and IRQ -> JK> 3. I also read that the server and client code base was merged -> JK> as of fixpak 13. Right now I'm at fixpak 10. Maybe I will go up to 12 and see if it still works there. --- PCBoard (R) v15.4/M 250 Beta * Origin: Torres Vedras - Portugal (2:362/6) |
