I have checked by BIOS, and it declares Irq 4 to be reserved for COM1.
But I checked the modem library used by MINITERM, and it claims COM1
is Irq 2 !!!
I want to override all possibly different COM port defaults, used by
setup screens, CORE.EXE, WIZARD.EXE, COMTOOL.COM, MINITERM.EXE and
EPPPD.EXE, to avoid any future confusion. I even added second alternative
description of the ports to setup screen, which mentions corresponding
Linux style /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/ttyS3, so Linux gurus can help DOS users
to setup Arachne ;-)
Now I would need to know, if following table of port address/irqs is
really 100% correct - well, WIZARD is anyway testing some more
combinations, so COM3/COM4 values are not really problem. But COM1 and
COM2 are same on all PCs, I think, and I don't want to add unecessary
confusion...
int default_base[4]={0x3f8,0x2f8,0x3e8,0x3f8};
int default_irq[4]={4,3,4,5};
