Hi, Here's a different slant on ASUS serial ports - I had a couple of Asus P/I-P55TP4XEG boards one of which I was using to build a company internet server. I found to my horror the serial ports did nothing - mouse extinct. However, they were probed O.K. The serial cables that came with them were replaced - no joy. A second set of cables and they were O.K.! The other cables worked fine on another motherboard? Pin sizes? The black molded plastic end gives no clue about connectivity. The second Asus P/I-P55TP4XEG board I had showed the same effect. I've also seen a serial port disappear (no probe) when a clashing IRQ existed. Mostyn P.S. Thses used SMC chips.
