Marion, I was getting _all_ confused since I hadn't tried to fight it for a few days. It was set for COM1. I know you can't user COM2, I was just all fouled up trying to explain it to you. Anyway, either COM1 or COM2 use IRQ 4, which should be just fine. On mine, however, it just doesn't work. I can't even get DOS to complete a DIR command with the serial board installed — and that's with everything on the board disabled but COM1 (or COM3, as the mood strikes). I'm tempted to try COM2 just for "fun", in case the documentation is backwards. And if that doesn't work, I may have to go to some fancy board where you can configure addresses and interrupts thru software, or something. Anyway, it's very frustrating, and my inability to get my 1.2 meg drive to work is frustrating, and opening my Borland Turbo C++ I just bought and seeing 9 1.44M diskettes is frustrating. Anyway, I'll keep trying, and I'm open to any and all suggestions. Highly recommended — the ATI Vantage VGA with mouse. It all works like a dream, and the VGA speed is terrific! I imagine ATI Ultra would be even better, but I had to economize somewhere. I configured the mouse to use IRQ5 so 4 would be available, and the mouse couldn't be better. Beyond that, suffice it to say I am typing this message online using Amiga BackTalk. Don't get me wrong! I wouldn't be going through all this for my BridgeBoard if I didn't think it was one of the most exciting products to come down the pike in a long, long while! Thanks for all your help. Don Weed
