> any problems running with just 2, but more computer control stuff euqals
> more com ports. Base addresses are standard, and com 1&3 are IRQ 4 (I
> think) and com 2&4 are IRQ 3 (at any rate, the com ports share irq's).
> The comtsr programs are set up to show the proper IRQ's and base
> addresses, but when I try to use the two com ports that share an IRQ,
> neither device works properly. Do I need to configure for individual
> IRQ's? The software interrupts on the comtsr programs are all different
> for the 4 com ports.

> Thoughts? suggestions? I'm going to be putting together a 486 over the
> summer, and will start off right with an 8 port board! Thanks.
