BL> Yair... I know. The cable the nice Chinese gave me with the VESA
BL> card does not match it. I went 90% crazy tracking it down; finally
BL> isolating it to the cable and checking it wire-by-wire until Brenton
BL> says: "There are two types, A and B, and no one knows which is
which."
BL> ROFL!

DM> Actually, come to think of it, it was a new VESA board, and a
DM> RS232 cable from a ISA card, that caused the problems. So maybe
DM> there are VESA serial cables, and ISA serial cables.

Nope. The A and B cable go way back to the beginning of DB-9 serial ports.

BL> It only took me 20 hours. On my normal consulting rate I could have
BL> bought a new Pentium complete. The next one I modify will be easier...
BL> I'll just buy a sound card for $60.

DM> Or Plug-n-Pray....

Nope. It's prug-n-pray. Why doncha white fellas pay tenshun.
