Mike,
I believe TR looks at the BIOS memory at 40:00 to find the port addresses.
If they are set to 0000 there, it uses the defaults. I would try
1. set Com4 to address $0260
2. run the command TR PORTS to see what TR thinks the com4 port address is.
If it thinks it is 2e8, then there is hope. Set the BIOS memory by hand
to $0260 using debug. That is type DEBUG then type

-e 40:06 60 02
-q

The - is the prompt. Then try TR PORTS again and see if it reports the
correct address.
