My question is:
How do the entries in the vec3 and vec4
columns relate to the COM ports and what values should
be placed where? Since vec1 and vec2 are 3 and 4 respectively,
am I correct in assuming that vec1 is for COM2 which is
normally IRQ 3 and that vec2 is for COM1 which is normally
IRQ 4 ??
If this is true, then are the vec3 and 4 columns also reversed
i.e. COM4 and COM3 respectively?
I recently tried this with an internal modem that supports
COM1 thru COM4 and IRQ2 thru IRQ5 to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions or better, definate answers?
