Snip . . .
SS>Microsoft Knowledgebase.  In fact there is an easy way to remember the
SS>proper IRQ assignments, "The sum of the port number and the IRQ is 5 for
SS>low ports and 7 for high ports."  Thus:
SS>COM 1 + IRQ 4 = 5
SS>COM 2 + IRQ 3 = 5
SS>COM 3 + IRQ 4 = 7
SS>COM 4 + IRQ 3 = 7
SS>No need to resort to tables, which in your case are obviously WRONG.
SS>Also, for absolute accuracy, these are not exactly the stand.  IBM used
SS>different IRQ's in the original PS2.  Also for absolute accuracy, these
SS>are "standards" and NOT absolutes.  My modem runs under COM3/IRQ5 simply
SS>to avoid Windows 95's reluctance to share IRQ's.
In other words, take anything you read, hear, see with a grain of salt.
Microsoft Knowledgebase?? The same people that put out WIN95??  Oh boy.
Thanks anyway.   Herb.
