2329.0. "comm 1 under Nt4.0 Hinote ultra" by KAOFS::S_BAINS () Tue Mar 11 1997 16:13

    I have Nt4.0 working fine on my Ultra II notebook. All is Ok but I ma
    unable to open my serial port on the back of the machine. I have
    enabled the port in the bios and checked the config in control panel
    but alas no go when I try Keaterm. The same is true for Comm 3. I ran
    NT diagnostics and it sees two serial devices with the correct address
    and IRQ.
    	Has anyone managed to get this working?`I recently had the same
    problem under win95 (my hinote is dual boot) but I installed new MMM
    drives from file AGP8W95A.EXE from
    http://www.pcservicenter.com/drivers/drivers.html and it fixed my
    unable to open comm1 problem (alas my CD works no-more though)
    
    	When I run NT diagnostics the following is what I see under IRQ
    
    	01	i8042prt
    	03	serial
    	04	serial
    	06	floppy
    	07	ce2xps
    	10	auddrive
    	12	i8042prt
    	14	atdisk
    	15	atapi
    
    I get the extra serial showing when I enable comm1 in the bios at
    address 03f8
