Hello,
The computer operating system will allow certain devices to share the same
interrupts when the computer has many devices. However, the devices using
the same interrupts cannot be using them at the same time. So, it may be
worthwhile trying to get separate interrupt assignments for these devices,
if possible.
Thanks,

Subject: [WriteLog] Comm Port Problem update
First - thanks to all who replied to my earlier post. I tried the solutions
proposed that I hadn't tried before. Still no luck. I came across a PCI
card with 2 comm ports and one lpt port at Comp USA. I installed that and
same result.
The two COMM ports show up in device manager as COMM 3 and COMM 6 and show
as operating properly. COMM 1 will power either radio with no problem. WL
is seiing COMM 3 and 6 as when I select them no port not available message.
But they dont seem to communicate with radios.
BTW: COMM 3 and 6 do work with a serial mouse.
There is one thing I do notice that I think may be the problem. The new
device show up as using IRQ 16. Two other devices are also on IRQ 16 -USB
controller and graphics controller. I dont know if that is the problem.
However I cant find any way to change the IRQ of new card. Device manager
is not giving me the option of changing it.
Is this an IRQ problem and if so is there a fix?
Thanks
Alan/N3AD
