Hello there Lewin ....



SB>>> some Video cards can clash with the address range used by

SB>>> COM 4 when running in some modes.

RL>> Pardon?? Please explain.



 LE> Some S3 and ATI Mach64 are I believe the culprits. In SVGA

 LE> modes they use an I/O range which overlaps 2E8-2EF to store linear

 LE> addressing control information. So you can't use COM4 with one of

 LE> those cards running in one of those modes.



Ok. thanks for that.  Seems a weird setup.



 LE> Has SFA to do with Win4 though, it's a video hardware

 LE> limitation.



Right.
