- Could you please clarify what you mean by not recognizing COM3 properly?
- Ever since LA I have been unable to use my Zoom internal modem on COM3 and
- IRQ9 (uniquely) under OS/2. I am embarrassed to say that under the other
- guys make believe OS that it has worked flawlessly even in a dual login
- scenario. The OS seems to recognize the port at boot via the neccessary
- VCOM and COM device parameters but completely FREEZES at the first attempt
- under a VDM or native app to write to or read from it. The system is so
- hung (ISA == no watchdog) that a hardware reset is required.
-
- Now does anyone know if this com16450 driver would solve a problem this
- severe or is my UART just too old and needs replacing?
