COMADDR.EXE version 1.1 BBS.TXT
Copyright (c) 1994 K.D. Smyth
SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION
What it does, briefly:
COMADDR can reset the COM port I/O address list (those "3F8"
and "2E8" things you set jumpers for on adapter cards) stored in
your computer's memory to either the defaults or whatever you
like. That way, the digital address the software sees for the COM
port actually agrees with the jumper setting, overriding whatever
garbage your BIOS loaded in during start-up. This is especially
useful for crowded machines, or ones using extended adapters like
the Mouse Systems Serial Card, or the Quickpath Portfolio I/O
card, which allow you to set different addresses to resolve
various I/O and interrupt (IRQ) conflicts. It is compatible with
both DOS and Windows applications, and will help solve a lot of
confusing adapter/printer/conflict problems. Unfortunately, you
still need to set the jumpers or DIP switches; but this will give
you more flexibility.
