No, they're all fine. I have changed it again today as I wanted the 
scanner connected back up :-)

Yeah, no problems with IRQs (or DMAs). I checked all that shit again 
when setting the scanner up.

No slots left at all. That's why my next HD will be scsi.

No, version 1.00 and I've never had a problem. Actually it's faster 
than using the mouse on the com port and much more configurable.

I checked the mode statement. It's correct and yet I'm still getting 
all that different stuff. I'll check it again now that I've changed 
the boards that the com ports are on. Hopefully that might help.

Very strange!
