I have that kind of problem on my computer. I think that the problem comes
from interferences between the video or the scsi board with the serial cables
located between the serial plug and the mother board.
It may also come from a broken chipset.
my mouse is connected to COM1, COM2 is unusable (disabled)
I installed a serial board (2x16550) as COM2 and COM3
for the external cables the best is to use shielded cable at the right size.
