speaking of flakey hardware, I have an acer that has a card in it with two comm ports on it. com3 is a 9 pin and works or I'd not be writing this since I use it for my speech synthesizer. com2 is a serial port that has a d-shell like it could hold 25 pins but doesn't. It also hasn't got 9 pins so far as I can tell. I tried hooking it up to another computer with a laplink null modem cable the large connector went into terminal and a small 9 pin connector actually holes on both sides went into the port on the server. No joy. Now I'm wondering if this is enabled and how odd ball its wiring is. I've got a couple pci cards but don't know if they'd even work in a late 1994-1995 vintage acer like this. I'm not even going to comment on acer's software scheme. None of the machine's original software is on it since the CD has a number you have to key in just to be able to install any of it and when I got this machine I wasn't told anything about that number.
