- While I'm fuzzy on the details (it's been a while), there IS a conflict
- between COM4 and certain Diamond video boards. Those boards used
- extended I/O port addressing, and several port addresses on the board
- ended with 0x2E8, which conflicts with the standard COM4 I/O address. If
- you take a look at the Diamond manual, it lists the I/O port addresses
- used by the video board.
