- It has been suggested that I need to disable the default com 3 and 4
- switches on the motherboard, however after searching through what
- seemed to a 40 or so pages 'reference manual', and looking around
- (and testing varies jumpers) the motherboard, I didn't find anything
- that helped.
-
- Can anyone suggest anything else I can do?
- I got the machine configed in HK. Not much help from there.
-
- Please reply by e-mail. Many thanks in advance.

- System board: InformTech 486DX/33.
- P/S: By the way, what does the jumper J28 do? Not a word mentioned
- on the manual. J 28
