Foiled again… The EMC Multi I/O board I recently bought has two serial ports which I assumed would fit my needs nicely. One port would serve an IBM serial mouse and the other could be used by my modem….WRONG!!!! The serial mouse (Logitech) requires COM_1 with IRQ_4. No problem. My telecommunications program (TELIX) can use any COM port from COM_1 to COM_7. Again no problem. However the largest IRQ line it will accept is IRQ_7. Serial port 2 on the Multi I/O board is assigned IRQ_10 and I don't see any other alternate (other than to swap it's IRQ with serial port 1 which then makes the mouse inoperative) Does any one know of any work around or will I not be able to connect a serial mouse and also connect my modem with this telecommunications program?
