This request is prompted by the trouble Yolanda has had with her COM Ports, and now I HAVE it, too. I just picked up a motherboard with a P-133. Its HDD and FDD conections are on-board, as are the parallel and serial connections. It won't recognize the mouse, nor the modem. (sound familiar, Pippi?) Is it possible for a motherboard to have defective COM circuitry? How many of you techs out there have run into this and fixed it? I'm taking the P-133, the 32Megs of ram and any other usable parts OFF this MOTHER of a Board (stayed up 'til 3AM last nite) and making it a frisbee, and will place above said onto another like-board with plenty of slots for connection of I/O cards for HDD, FDD, etc. Seems on-board units are affected by this? Or are they so finicky about the peripherals connected that only a small group of said peripherals function properly? No maker's ID on this board, just Intel chips, no way to know who to chew on about it, so if any of you have solved this problem, please come forward with actual case histories of your solutions.
