-> use the previous version instead of sio2k

With 1.60d, I got the same failure. So much for SIO working with my 2
port PCI card. Or so I thought ...

Some time later, I tested the onboard COM1 port with PCBoard on DOS.
Outbound transfers worked, but inbound failed. Puzzled, I looked at the
BIOS and noticed that power was set on APM. I had it that way for OS/2,
since Warp 4 does not understand ACPI.

I set it back to ACPI, and DOS inbound transfers started working fine.
So the motherboard is buggy when set for APM; the IRQ handling is messed
up.

Knowing that, I left it on ACPI and installed WARP 4 again. Now it all
works. SIO 1.60d and my 2 port serial PCI card on IRQ 3. Amazing what a
little BIOS setting can do.

Right now I'm at fixpak 10. Maybe I will go up to 12 and see if it still
works there.
