- I've been troubled with the same combination of video, 486 and modem/serial
- port. The problem is that the Diamond stealth card uses some internal
- registers that have addresses that have the same last bits as the base
- address of serial port com2. The problem is that the Diamond stealth driver
- software writes information into registers of the UART of the
- modem/serial port which then acts funny.
- My solution was to strap my ISA serial card/modem as com1 and use
- the built in VESA combo card com2 for the mouse.
