There is only one serial port on the new machine. When I installed the
PCI-200 in the new computer Device Manager shows them as Com 4 and Com
5. Thought I was home free. However, the devices I have hooked up to
the ports: TS-850 and the serial CW keying line don't work.

OK, don't know if this will work on XP, but 98SE sometimes does the
same thing. The trick I've use is to tell 98 it has comm ports 3 and
4....under the add new hardware
feature. Of course, if you try to check them, under Device Manager,
you'll get an error.
However, what I have then done is install the other card, like Dave's
PCI-200, and see if it works then. If it does, I then remove the fake
comm 3 and 4. I have also been successful in setting it up like that,
and then removing the fakes, and changing ports 4 and 5 to the
addresses of 3 and 4.
Hope this helps.
