- I have a Supra 28.8i internal fax modem installed on com3 with an IRQ of
- 5. For some reason, when I install the cd-rom drivers, nothing that I
- type in any terminal program appears on the screen. It won't dial or
- answer from the terminals either. When I go to the dos prompt and enter
- echo ata > com3, it answers. I assume it's an irq conflict. I used to
- have a USR Sportster 14.4k set on com3 and IRQ 7. Everything worked fine.
- I have a Fusion 16 sound card; the cd-rom is connected to its scsi port.
- With the USR, I had the Sound Blaster portion set to IRQ 5. It's set to 7
- with the Supra. Are there any jumpers on the Fusion 16 sound card I must
- change in order to change the IRQ of the Sound Blaster portion, or is it
- all done in installing the drivers? BTW, the Supra doesn't support IRQ 7.
- Any help would be appreciated.
