GS:
Remove the COM-4 from device manager, re-boot, go into
CMOS, into "Integrated Peripherals", switch the second
COM port from 4 to 2 (which is IRQ3/2F8), save/exit,
boot into Win95 and the OS should autodetect COM-2. If
not, go into ADD NEW HARDWARE under Control Panel and
have Win95 detect the COM Port (or do it manually).
