Mmmm I know com1, com3 -> IRQ3 & com2, com4 -> IRQ4

Test programs do not check hardware lines, they will simple check IRQ vectors
ridirection, this means: software is well configured but hardware not.
In order to check hardware you sould:
1) generate an interrupt
2) check the interrupt handler chip to control if the line activated by interrutp
is the correct one.
