------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Ports (COM & LPT) section of Device Manager should show
Generic Ir Serial Port (COM2).
!! _NOTE_ !! It MUST say (COM2) to work!
If Generic IrDA Compatible Device appears, then remove it
and restart the computer. It should discover a Generic IR
Serial Port. Choose the default Windows driver and recheck
this step when Windows 95 is done finding things. If it
rediscovers a Generic IrDA Compatible Device then copy
C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WIN95\IRDA\MSPORTS.INF to the C:\WINDOWS\INF
directory, remove the "Generic IrDA Compatible Device" and try
again.
Once it shows up as Generic Ir Serial Port (COM2), check that it
has the following resources:
Interrupt Request 03
Input/Output Range 2F8-2FF
Direct Memory Access 03
2. If COM2 is present but the resources are wrong, highlight COM2
and press the Remove button.
3. If COM2 is not present or its resources were wrong, use
Regedit to remove existing COM2 references in the Registry and
reboot so Windows will do a hardware search to rediscover it.
