Re: A86: GraphLink Software




First, what COM is the port configured as in the BIOS?  Second, is anything
connected to the other odd/even number?  If so, there is your problem.  

The reason: COM1 & COM3 are set up as (I think) IRQ 3, and COM2 & COM4 are
set as (I think again) IRQ 2. If two devices are calling the same IRQ, they
conflict, and whichever device is active first after your machine is turned
on gets the IRQ. 

ie in my case, a joystick and the GL are on 1 & 3 respectively.  The
joystick drivers are loaded on boot if it is connected, therefore the GL
doesn't work if the joystick is connected
