- Neil, I too have the Diamond card and recently installed an internal modem
- which was factory set to COM4,IRQ3. I too had the symptoms you describe,
- even though the manual states COM4 should work fine for most systems.
-
- My solution was to un-install the Modem and COM4 port in Windows 95, then
- physically change the jumpers on the board to COM3,IRQ2 and to plug my
- mouse into COM2.
-
- Go back into Windows 95 and choose Control Panel, Add New Hardware to get
- COM3 detected, then restart. I think then the Modem was automatically
- detected and installed, all works fine.
-
- I tried the mouse back in COM1, sharing the IRQ2 last night, but there was
- a definite clash as the mouse froze and the modem dropped.
-
- Cheers,
- Robert.
