No, that's doesn't do it. Once you enable I/O port configuration, ACAD says "i/o port questions will be asked during device configuration" or some such message. When you then go to configure a device, the question you're asked is something like "Available ports are Serial A or Serial B. Enter port (A or B) <A>: " If you try to enter a hex address, you're rewarded with "Invalid response. Enter A or B <A>:" and this continues until you either answer A or B or give up. By the way, if support for this isn't built-in to the 2.17b config. utility, I'd be happy with an address to patch with DEBUG.
