hey guys
im having some dificulty with my com1 port
for whatever reason it doesnt want to work
i was wondering if anyone could offer me some tips on what to do to make it work
i tried opening hyperterminal but i dont know wtf im doing
it just wont work no matter what i do
on another machine i tried and it works fine so it seems to be a problem with the specific motherboard
its an AOPEN AX3S-U motherboard.. it uses the 815E B-step chipset and it has a tualatin 1.4ghz cpu
with 512mb ram
everything else works perfectly from what i can tell..
theres a com2 header port on the motherboard between the first 2 pci slots near the AGP slot
but i have no ribbon + bracket/header to connect to it to try to use com2
com1 is built into the back io shield
and the built in graphics for the motherboards taken the place where com2 would normally go beside the parallel port
and under neath com1
im really annoyed having tried to fix this all day
if anyone has any tips for me on what to do to somehow reconfigure this
to make it work
i have no idea why it wont just work!!!!!!
