I want to keep my parallel port free on the server for printer use by the
client computer.
Does the "I/O TIMING" only concern a parallel connection? Would it equally
apply to a serial connection? My 486 BIOS setup shows nothing at all
similar to this sort of setting, so I wouldn't know where to begin
experimenting with it.
I wonder if my problem is an incompatibility between a Pentium and a 486,
with respect to serial port connections. But why? Things like this really
bug me... <g>
