I'm using the 86BOX manager, running a Win98 Virtual machine under it and works fine.
My host has 1 COM port, and the 86Box Manager configurator is set so the VM has zero COM ports, but in the W98 VM, device manager say there are 2.
Also states there is an LPT1 printer port, despite there being zero in the configurator.
I've deleted them in the Device Manager, and rebooted, but they always return.

Any ideas what is happening here?

Sounds like a question that should be asked here: https://github.com/86Box/86Box/issues
