- X00 can be configures to have comports at all posible adresses at all possible
- IRQ-lines. Simply do something like this while loading X00.SYS or X00.EXE
- (X00.EXE can not be hiloaded :( ):
-
- DEVICE=X00.SYS 2=3E8,5
-
- This will assume that port 2 (=COM3) is at hexadecimal adress 3E8 and will use
- IRQ-line 5. You can assign almost any portnumber to the adress. Remember:
- PORT(n)=COM(n+1) !
-
- BTW: the 'E' parameter won;t work when u r using other paramters too.. So the
- loading will take 3 seconds longer...
-
- Well, it should work.. Telling Waffle to use com3 should work now... BTW: it is
- all in de Doc's: X00USER.DOC.... RTFM!
