- I am purchasing a new PC and I am wondering what is the best approach to get the maximum from my com's ports. I would like to use this pc in a multi-single setup, and as such it would be nice to be a

- Best bet is to buy a PC with two standard COM ports at COM1 (uses IRQ4) and COM2 (uses IRQ3). Then buy a 2 serial port option card that allows you configure COM3 on IRQ2 and COM4 on IRQ5. They sell t

- Actually, the Boca board in particular is less than $16 at several vendors in the Washington, D.C. area. In addition, there are several vendors of combination IDE-type HD/floppy controller, dual-COM

- John, I won't address your question entirely. However, I can tell you that a BUS mouse intalled here really helped. It frees one serial port usually used by the mouse. I'll be watching for other sugg

- My own 1984 Microsoft bus mouse is apparently counted as LPT2 when looking at Norton'w SYSINFO. Funny thing is, however, that I'm using my CT keyer interface on a paralled port which is also addresse
