- I have a working modem on COM4 and a sound card/game port board.
- When I run MSD it does not show anything for COM4 but it does show
- port info on COM3. Can anyone explain this? I do have a mouse on COM2.
- This is a computer that I didn't set up and am trying to understand what
- is going on. The COM2 would seem to have an IRQ problem with COM4 but
- everything works ok and I can't explain why. Thanks for any help.
