gp2 com 3 and 4

4 posts by 4 people · 22 Oct 1997 - 26 Oct 1997

Does anyone know how to enable com port 3 and 4 on gp2? Mine are greyed out and everything I try they still stay greyed out! Any help appreciated.
I got the same problem. I know there is a problem with some DOS based games reading com port 3 or 4 if the IRQ is greater than 7. On a side note, I have now given up with modem play on GP2, even though my brother and I are using PII 266's with 33.6 sportster modems. If your lucky enough to connect and transfer the data, your likely to freeze for 2 seconds in to a lap and crash into a wall. Very poor coding. Still Microprose promised patches and updates, but where are they. NO WHERE. Anyway hopefully ubisofts F1 will be a lot better, and with 3DFX.

The GP-2 CD contains a tool to access com 3 and 4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flush The Seatbelt!

Gp2 has trouble recognising anything other than com2 due to the game code. On the gp2 cd there is a utility called comsetup, copy it to the gp2 directory and go to the dos prompt and type comsetup/h for info. Basically comsetup tries to fool gp2 into thinking any other com port than com2, *is* com2, IYSWIM? Your other option is to physically change your modem to com2, via changing the jumpers on the m/b or via the bios set-up. d:?)) * Peter * 8-) Please remove asterix from address to email.
