I recently had the same problem with a FIC 2002 mobo. As so many people
have mentioned, all cables are not created equally.  Unfortunately, even
with the manufacturer's cables, neither of my serial ports work. Another
good deal that turned out less than good.  I changed the BIOS settings
to disable both on-board serial ports and installed an inexpensive
serial card. Win95 recognized it and it worked immediately.  I've since
ordered a new/warrantied board to replace this one.
