I have an option for Serial Port 2. The option for that is, Auto, disable, [...], 2F8,[...] When i remember to see my bios (after send my mail) i noticed that that option was DISABLE!!!! So I changed it to 2F8h You know what happen?? When I started FreeBSD or DOS and don't use sio1, no trouble happen, and BIOS keeps unchanged. When i used my sio1 (i tried to put my mouse there) THE BIOS CHANGE!!!! It automatically changes to DISABLE!!! I suspect that it is the marvelous PnP...
