Help!
On the assumption, fool that I am, that *most* 'dumb' multi-port serial
cards should work with Microport System V/AT, I upgraded my Quadram
Quadport/AT motherboard with the daughterboard. This should give me up
to six serial ports on my machine including the one on my AST Premium
Expansion board.
I hooked everthing up and set the jumpers properly, ( when I boot DOS
and install the Quadram Quadport.sys , I get six serial ports. ), I used
ttypatch to fix up the kernel with the interrupt, the port addresses and
tried to shoehorn in the status port addresses. Low and behold, I can
assert DTR on modems attached to the appropriate port but I cannot pass
any data.
Has anyone installed this Multiport Board on System V/AT 2.3 or 2.4?
If so would you E-mail me your ttypatch lines so I can try them here.
If the included tty driver in 2.3 or 2.4 does not support this board,
does anyone have a driver for the kernel that I could try?
My last resort is to return the daughter card and buy another multiport
board. I would ask for some guidance on this purchase. I believe that I
can only justify a 'dumb' board and probably only need one anyway, War
stories and such I would try and summarize and repost.
Any comments are appreciated.
If you wish I can call you by phone if you E-mail you phone numbers..
Thanks in advance.
