I had a similar knockoff board in my 6300 for a while. It had the same problem with the port that could only be set (via dip switches)for COM1 or COM3. However, since all the decoding logic for COM2 was on the board, I only had to solder in one jumper to make it work. A little inconvenient, but I imagine it was cheaper than buying a board from I*M. -- Peter Fales UUCP: ...ihnp4!ihlpe!psfales work: (312) 979-7784 AT&T Information Systems, IW 1Z-243 1100 E.
