[Trlog] IRQ's and 9600b

[Mike Wetzel]

Kevin,

Thanks immensely-that did the trick! 
Last question where and how do I put that statement so it executes on each
start up or reboot?

I really appreciate your taking time to think about this and help me out.

73,

Mike W9RE

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.
