Selam,

Dun bir Zoom Winmodem kurdum. (W95 uzerine)
PCI serial controller filan seklinde gozukuyor.
Ayarlara bakildiginda I/O adresi 3E8 IRQ 15 okuyorsunuz.
Ve DOS programlarin uyumluluk modunda bu modemle adres ve IRQ 4 uzerinden
haberlesebilecegi soyleniyor.

Yukarida denmek istenen budur belki.
Yani once W95 ile boot edip DOS uyumluluk modunu aktive edip sonra Loadlin le
Linux boot edilebilir.

Simdi bi sorum var?
Acaba W95 filan yuklenmeden direkt Linux acilsa ve seri port ayarlari elle 3E8
ve IRQ 15 yapilsa ne olur?
Linux seri portun IRQ sunu 15 olarak kabul edermi?

Simdi sen niye denemiyorsun diyeceksiniz?

Yakin vakitte o makinaya Linux filan kurmam mumkun degil.
Ama firsat bulursam modemi sokup benim makinaya takip denemeler yaparim.

Abuk IRQ ve I/O adresleri ile tecrubeleri olanlar lutfen yazsin.

Gorusmek uzere........Imran
