- Remove the aditional settings in the config.sys. The system should show
- the message "Comx cannot be initialised - Interrupt level not reachable"
- (or so) while booting the system.
-
- Now use the x00 (x00149a: Os/2 Version) fossil driver to remap the
- comports (e.g. "x00 0=COM3") before you start your application.
- Dont forget to unistall the dirver (simply "x00") after app has ended.
-
- It works fine for me.
-
-
- Hope this helps
