> I just put an AMD pentium clone motherboard with 2 onboard serial ports
in
> my pc, and now Geoworks won't recognize the COM ports for File Linking to
> my Zoomers. No matter what settings I've tried (both in Geoworks and in
> the motherboard BIOS), I get "busy or doesn't exist" errors when trying
to
> link. Even tried setting the port to 9600n81 with the MODE command
before
> starting Geos, and have tried booting from both msdos 6.2 and drdos 6.0.
>
> The mouse works fine on either port, but linking doesn't. Geocomm can
talk
> to an old external 14.4k modem on either port, but attempts at linking to
> the same port with or without the Zoomer attached (and no modem, of
course)
> only gives the error message.
>
> My next plan is to try re-installing Geoworks, but the disks weren't with
> the manual when I finally found that, so it might take a while to find
> them. Since everything else seems to work fine, it doesn't seem like
that
> would fix it anyway.

> Does anyone have an idea what the problem or solution might be? I'm
> getting the digest form of this list, so email replies will be
appreciated.
> If there's interest, I'll be happy to post a summary of ideas.

> Happy Zooming, and Happy Holidaze. :)
