How to install ISA ICOM card under OS/2? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Solution:
Because OS/2 doesn't support IRQ sharing. you'd better set different IRQ for each port. There's no special COM port driver for OS/2, so you can use default device driver "COM.SYS" to add extra COM port by edit CONFIG.SYS like the following example:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS (3,03E8,5,d,t) (4,02E8,10,d,t)
This line will set up COM3 at IO 3E8 IRQ 5, and COM4 at IO 2E8 IRQ 10.
Syntax:
DEVICE=PATH\COM.SYS (COM, Address, IRQ, BAD_INT, FIFO)
COM => comm port number ( 1 to 4 )
Address => base address of comm port
IRQ => interrupt setting for comm port, make sure no conflict with other devices
BAD_INT => what to do while bad interrupt
i => ignore
d => disable this comm port
p => post to application
FIFO => comm port supports FIFO or not
t => true
f => false
