I had a strange problem last night, and although I temporarily fixed the
problem, I'm not real happy with the solution, nor do I truly understand
the problem.
i just built a system using a AMD K6-233 and a 430 TX MB. After
installing Windows95 I began adding my other internal devices one at a
time. First I added a second printer port (for a syquest drive), then a
sound card. A-OK so far.
Then I added a modem (plug and play) and weird things started to happen.
The computer suddenly did not recognize my drives (HD + laser) on the
primary IDE channel. Even the startup screen reported it wasn't there.
When I removed the modem the drives showed up again.
I temporarily fixed the problem by disabling COM 2 on the motherboard
which allowed the modem to assign itself to that port. This is a temp
fix because I need that second port on the MB for my digital camera.
Has anyone had this type of problem/conflict?
I'm thinking of going into CMOS and reassigning the onboard com2 port to
com4. Does that sound reasonable?
Thanks for your assistance.
