- I don't know. I dont have the manual for it. :(

- Does anyone know if trident 8900b cards use IRQ2???
-
- I just got the beta COMM2211 drivers from hobbes and it still reports
- COM3 Interrupt not available.
-
- SIO was able to use it, and it worked just fine, but SIO thought it was IRQ9
- and not IRQ2. Also, to use it in the term program, I had to set the term
- program to IRQ2.
-
- The only problem was after I exited the term program and tried to run a
- utility I use a lot, the system came to a screeching halt with some sort
- of illegal instruction or lockup.
-
- Any ideas???
-
- Please respond to email...so i dont miss the reply.
-
- Thanks in advance.
