[comp.sys.ibm.pc] need troubleshooting info on Everex 1800B AT

biggers@siemens.UUCP (Mark Biggers) (08/03/87)

I am working with a new Everex 1800B AT clone (10 mhz, no wait)
and am having some trouble with the serial ports.  A serial Microsoft
mouse and driver work fine on port #2.  However, Kermit (v2.29) running 
on either port always echoes back characters, even with no serial
cable attached - no signals appear on the ports, according to my
breakout box.

The "technical" support staff at Club-AT don't even have Everex tech
manuals, and tech support at Everex wasn't any help either (why
do companies think they can sell ATs like they're selling washing
machines?).  Any help anyone can suggest on this would be greatly
appreciated - the machine works very well otherwise, leading me
to suspect this version of Kermit.

In addition, where can I get info on the AMI Bios supplied with the
machine (any hidden features, hooks) or tech info on the Everex box?

thanks,
mark
