I am currently running a Tyan Trinity 400 mobo with a Via Pro 133A chipset. I also have the latest IRQ routing driver downloaded from Via's website. Currently, there seem to be some IRQ conflicts, and want to see if I can free up some IRQ's. The question I have is, my modem currently uses Com Port 2. Com Port 1 is open, it is not being used by anything. If I disable Com Port 1 in the bios, will that harm anything? Is there ever going to be a time when anything that I use in my computer will need Com Port 1, or is this something that I can do without? If I disable it, that would free up an IRQ. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
