Hi gang - Thanks for the suggestions regarding swapping IRQs. Sometimes I can't believe how one-dimensional my thinking can be (thanks for reminding me guys!). Of course, the logical and easy thing to do is simply swap the connectors on the IO board so that the mouse can be on Com 1 and the modem can stay at Com 4 without conflicting with each other. Duh? Right now I have two 386 clones and one 286 that I'm cleaning up to (hopefully) donate to charity. The two 386 machines have Hercules monitors, so Arachne doesn't like them (nor does Geos 2, for that matter, but Geos 1.2 works fine), but for basic word processing and text e-mail, they should be great. I'm throwing in some modems I have (including a couple of plug-n-pray 33.6 numbers that require some creative debug tricks to make them work with pure DOS). The 386 boxes only have 3 megs of RAM and I have tried adding some additional, but they apparently require some jumper or toggle changes to recognize the additional RAM. Since I don't have the manuals, I don't have a clue. I've got some additional RAM on hand, so I'll play around with them, but so far the additional SIMMs are just ignored. (but I'll keep in mind your offer, Gregor, in case I figure it out). ;) Later, Richard ------------------------------------------------------------ Need access?
