Hi guys
I am having a strange issue with my socket7 motherboard, and I'd like to know if any of you has seen something like it, and how (if) you solved it. Basically, the problem is that my motherboard does not seem to honor the COM and LPT ports settings in the BIOS:
- If I disable them, Win98 sees them without any problem, but the parallel is seen as a regular parallel port
- If I set the COM ports to "auto" then win98 sees them too, but then a strange port COM4 appears out of nowhere, with settings "02E8, IRQ7"
I already updated the BIOS of the board, nothing changed. Any idea what could be wrong? or is it normal for windows to see disabled ports?
Thanks!
