I apologize to you and the rest of the group. I'm a newbie to these lists,
but I went against my own common sense in desparation -- won't happen again.

If anywhere, I thought tech-kern was right because 1.3 kernels (and 1.3
builds) do not exhibit the problem I described -- I put a 1.3 kernel on a
1.2 build and the problem went away (of course, it broke many commands but
it was only a test). Seeing as COM and ISA functionality are handled by the
kernel, it made sense to me -- what changed in the kernel to eleviate the
problem?

Including myself ;-)

Done -- thanks for setting me straight.
