I have an ISA card which has a parallel port and a serial port.<\/p>\n<p>When I installed the card and rebooted the computer I received a BIOS error message. It stated that the Floppy Disk was configured wrongly.<\/p>\n<p>I removed the card and the computer functioned OK.<\/p>\n<p>I suspected that there must be an IRQ conflict.<\/p>\n<p>I eventually found the jumper configuration information for the card.<\/p>\n<p>Now I ran into another problem.<\/p>\n<p>I can configure the parallel port of the card OK. My problem is the serial port.<\/p>\n<p>There are already two serial comms ports on the computer, using IRQ3 and IRQ4.<\/p>\n<p>I have configured the comms port on the external card to be COM3. The problem is setting the IRQ. The card configuratioon information only allows me to select !RQ3 or IRQ4.<\/p>\n<p>My question now is &#8220;When I install the card, will this conflict situation cause BIOS errors?<\/p>\n<p>Any help would be much appreciated<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":4},"question-category":[60],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-4342","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-dos"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/4342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=4342"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=4342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
