- Big problem with com-port in win31!
-
- I tried to install a third com-port on my system
- that uses io-base 02E8 (com4) and IRQ2. My IO-Card
- supports this IRQ, so I had no problem to install it.
-
- So I run know com1 and com2 with default settings and
- an com4 with 02E8 and IRQ 2. I had no problems accessing
- this com4 with Laplink pro and telix. Both programs work
- perfectly with this com4 port. But in Windows 3.1 the
- System crashes very heavily when I try to access it either
- with Crosstalk for windows or terminal. I mad the settings
- in the controlpanel for 02E8 and irq 2 and I also tried
- once IRQ 9 but no chance. As soon as I connect to the port
- and try to send or receive any data pressed to my or the other
- computer's keyboard, the system crashes. Sometimes silent sometimes
- with a lot of beep's. I can only reboot.
-
- Does anybody have an idea what I made wrong.
-
- Thank you very much
