: -------
: Windows thinks it owns the serial port hardware (insert the usual
: MS jokes here). There is an easy way to avoid that, by not starting the
: GUI. See MS docs on hidden text file msdos.sys to include line bootgui=0.
: Nevertheless, Windows tries to present a simulated serial port to MSK.
: If that port is consumed by some Windows app then things won't work and
: you will see that Unknown hardware message.
: Joe D.
Obviously, there is no way to avoid starting the GUI on NT/2000. And
as of the release of Windows ME this option has been taken away as well.
The issue about the port numbers and interrupt values is most likely
caused by Windows' use of Plug N Play which assigns random values each
time the machine starts. The only way to use these devices in a
consistent manner is to use a Windows device name. K95 can do that.
MS-DOS Kermit cannot.
