Now I have a bit of time, I want to do some stuff on the Yaroze, but
alas, as always, siocons won't bloody work. I'm not sure when the last
time I had it working was, or whether I had any problems with it. I
think all the environment variables and such are there and working,
but when I try to download with siocons, I get a binary write error.
I've tried some of the Windows 95 based download programs, and they
say they can't access COM port 2. I have COM port 2 enabled in the
BIOS, and the IR port (normally mapped to COM 2), disabled in the
BIOS, so I'm pretty sure it's not that. I've also recently had a cable
modem installed, which has meant a NIC has had to be installed. I've
also noticed some resource conflicts going on, but none to do with the
COM ports (though involving the NIC and some IDE controller.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,
Rikki
