Bob,
These are the lines that invoke sio2k.sys in my config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\SIO2K\UART.SYS LOGFILE=C:\SIO2K\SIO2K.LOG
DEVICE=C:\SIO2K\VSIO2K.SYS LOGFILE=C:\SIO2K\VSIO2K.LOG
DEVICE=C:\SIO2K\SIO2K.SYS LOGFILE=C:\SIO2K\SIO2K.LOG
Attached to com2 is an external modem while com3 is an internal PnP ISA modem
with IRQ 10 set by the PnP BIOS. (COM2 and COM3 initializes w/o any problems
with sio160d package...)
I have tried running logger.exe (included with the sio2k package) as advised in
the faq, then running modes com2:115200,n,8,1. :( Still won't work properly.
How I would wish to be able to buy a 10/12 port version of sio.sys... But it's
going to be too bloddy expensive for me... <sigh> (In fact, I have been mulling
over migrating to Linux... too bad Maximus software is not yet ported to
Linux.) BTW, I have been visiting your site at www.juge.com. A very handy site
it is. =) Thanks.
Regards,
Peter
