I am able to get com ports 1-6 & 8 set into any of the 8 COMTSR*.EXE
but COMTSRx -p7 does NOT work. It comes up as COM5 on the info screen
when launched. I tried the other COMTSRs to see if just the COMTSR7 was
messed up but could not get any of them to accept -p7; they all ended up
as COM5, but would take any other valid number.
Also, I noted that when I changed the port number, the software interupt
sometimes (but not always) changed without my using the -c flag
In particular, I got the following settings when installing the 8 COMTSRs
initially (I was able to change all the parameters later, except for COM7)
COMTSRx Port IRQ Interupt Address
1 1 4 61 3f8
2 2 3 62 2f8
3 3 9 63 3e8
4 4 5 64 2e8
5 5 11 65 280
6 6 12 66 288
7 ** 5 ** 13 ** 65 ** 290
8 ** 1 ** ** 4 ** ** 1fa ** ** 3f8 **
As noted, I could change all the flagged numbers except never could get
com port 7. When I changed COMTSR8 to -p8 -c68 -a260, they were accepted;
but when I then unloaded COMTSR8 and loaded COMTSR8 -p1 (did NOT change
c and a), the interupt and addresses changed back to 1fa and 3f8.
Is this an artifact of my particular computer or ....?
