Don't know, but sounds like a case of partial address decoding on the board -- and/or port, address, or IRQ conflicts. It may be possible to jumper the board to fix the problem. Also, have you compiled your kernel with the COM_MULTIPORT option? Set the flags that indicate IRQs are shared? --Brett At 04:30 PM 5/20/97 -0300, WELCHDW@wofford.edu wrote: >I'm having quite a bit of difficulty getting Boca's 8 and 16 port >boards to work in my standard isa bus machines.
