Setting the Serial Interface

The built-in serial port in your computer is set to act as the

primary port (COM1). If you install an option card that
provides an additional serial port, that port automatically
becomes secondary (COM2). However, if you want the port
on the card to be COM1, select

COM2

for the built-in port.

If you install a card (or cards) that provide two additional
serial ports and you want them to act as the primary and
secondary ports, select

Disable

for the built-in port.

Note

Be sure to set

any

jumper(s) on the card(s) to indicate

whether you want the port(s) to be primary or secondary.

Setting the Disk Drive Controllers

If you are using the standard drives that came with your
computer, the hard disk drive controller (HDC) and diskette

drive controller (FDC) should be set to

Enable.

However, if you install an option card that provides a

controller for a diskette drive or hard disk drive, you need to
disable the built-in controller.
