Solve : Access to Comm Port 1 in DOS?

Answer»

I have IBM ThinkPad 380ED
Loaded with Win98.
I want to USE my software in DOS by F8 at start up to be ABLE to dual boot without ERASING data already in WIN98 files.
Problem is I cannot access the COMM Port 1 even THOUGH disgnostics programs say it is there. Using all default SETTINGS for comm 1.

Is there a way to create a Boot Disk to helpi it see comm 1..thanks..SteveSorry for posting on this topic so late...

Have you tried mapping it?
You may be able to "trick" your computer into using the port.
use the MAP command to map the drive as any drive letter after D, like a virtual drive...

this should solve your problem.

Cee
