From: k4bnc@cbnewsh.cb.att.com (john.a.siegel) Subject: Can't set COM4 - G2Ks answer Organization: AT&T Distribution: usa Keywords: ATI conflict Lines: 14 Gateway service has confirmed my suspicion, echoed by a couple of people who responded to the original request for help. The ATI VLB video board uses the addresses for COM 4. They could suggest no work around. I will be returning the DF IO card they supplied for COM 4 (even though it could not possibly work) for credit against a bus mouse. This will free up the COM port I need - too bad the original salesman who suggested either the DF IO card or the bus mouse would solve my need for a port didn't know enough about the hardware. Otherwise I must say that the 486DX2/66 system has worked very well - no problems with any other hardware or software. John Siegel k4bnc@cbnewsh.att.com
