Kinda wish I had an ISA slot in my new MB, even if it does take up an IRQ...and is slightly harder to setup. ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

TIA Frank McKenna Frank, I've got a Diamond Supra 56k internal ISA modem lying around somewhere. (I used it in my first MB which had ISA slots - my current machine does not - so I went with an external modem) I'm sure I've still got the manual (its a fold out variety). What did you want to know about the jumper settings? I'll try and look it up... -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Modem causes mouse to be unistalled
HI Ed, My eyes must be failing. My son found the FCC number for The Diamond 56 K ISA modem. It is 4V4USA-24801-M5-E After doing a search on Google I found everything but the jumper settings. The FCC site says that the number is no t valid which I thought was odd. If anyone has a manual and can tell me what the jumper settings are it would really be appreciated.

Re: [newbie] Modem causes mouse to be unistalled
Thanks Charles, Ed, DarkLord :-)) I had gone to the Diamond site before posting this to the list. I checked again including the PDF manual but no jumper settings to be found. Have emailed them twice now but am still waiting but not holding my breath. Would probably turn blue and keel over. Did a search on Google as well but to no avail. There are six pairs of pins (0-5) with pairs (1-5) shorted out by jumpers. Anyone have any suggestions so that my modem does not get uninstalled?

Right now it is set to use the same port that your mouse is on, this is why you loose the mouse. Your ISA moden will have anywhere from 1 to 3 jumoers, allowin you to manually set the com port, IRQ and I/O address. If you do not have the docs for the modem then check the Diamond site.

Re: [newbie] Modem causes mouse to be unistalled
turn OFF plug and pray aware OS in bios, yes that is the first thing. how did you do it? reserve (also in Bios , isa-pnp) an IRQ for the ISA slot slot the modem is in. you might also have to see if there is a setup utility to set the modems IRQ (probly dos based) or if this modem has jumpers or dip switches.

You're right about plug 'n play, make sure its turned off. Do a: cat /proc/interrupts to make sure that you don't have an IRQ conflict. If you do have a conflict, you can turn a few things off if you are not using them. For example - USB, serial port (com) 1, 2, or both...etc,... Some MB Bios's will allow you to reserve an IRQ for an ISA slot. My Gigabyte MB does this... If its not an IRQ conflict, then I dunno buddy... Hope this helps! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
