Thanks for your reply macdad.
I have checked and in Dos I have One COM1 port [The same for LPT1].
As instructed in the Cybercom.Drv site I did the following:
Checked that I have a 16550a UART installed.
For interest I give other data obtained via the MSD command at the Dos prompt [advised by
http://www.malch/comfaq.htm ]:
COM: Port Address 03F8H; Baud Rate : 2400; Parity: None; Data Rate: 8; Stop Bits: 1 UART Chip: 16550AF
LPT1 : 0378H; Online: No; PaperOut: No;
I/O Error: Yes ; Time Out: No; Busy: No; ACK: Yes
And then Configuered the System.ini file:
1) from comm.drv = comm.drv to comm.drv = cybercom.drv
2) inserted the line in [386 Enh]
COM1FIFO= 1 [If 16550 is installed on say, COM1 then [386 Enh] COM1FIFO=1... Start or Restart Windows]
As informed in an earlier post: I had downloaded the Cybercom driver and then unzipped it. Then transferred the cybercom.exe to C:\Windows\System.
HOWEVER when I attempted to load windows got the message: Error in loading Cybercom.drv
So am at a loss as to how to INSTALL the Cybercom.exe driver i.e. CONNECT it to the COM1 port. [If that is what is required].
When I installed the LJ125.exe file [update the HPlllP printer driver] I did it via the Print Manager in Windows..
I also notice that under LPT1 information above 'I/O Error' states YES!
So is there any way to deal with these conflicts?
The articles on Cybercomm.drv is referring to modems installed... and I do not have this for Dos.
Although I recognise that installing the Cybercom.drv in COM1 MAY resolve the problem that I am having printing in Win 3.1. through LPT1..
So. Oh Wise One....!
BTW: Are we here dealing with VIDEO drivers or COMMUNICATIONS drivers? As I reported I have just VGA not 'Standard VGA' option available.
