i had a 600e and 600x at one point (still using the 600e actually) - i recall i had to do bios crap with ps2.exe with irqs. i don't remember exactly what it was - i did it once long time ago and my com port came to life, and never have i looked back. however, i do recall that my com port didn't even show up and yours does show up - but this was all many many releases ago. i have no new experience - sorry. this may or may not help (probably not though) - from my 600e: OpenBSD 3.8-current (GENERIC) #151: Wed Sep 21 18:20:52 MDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel Celeron ("GenuineIntel" 686-class, 256KB L2 cache) 150 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR real mem = 301375488 (294312K) avail mem = 267603968 (261332K) using 3704 buffers containing 15171584 bytes (14816K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(08) BIOS, date 11/20/99, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd820 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: battery life expectancy 12% apm0: AC off, battery charge low, estimated 0:17 hours apm0: flags 30102 dobusy 0 doidle 1 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xfd880/0x800 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xf9e20/112 (5 entries) pcibios0: PCI Exclusive IRQs: 3 pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:07:0 ("Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #3 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xc000 cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x03 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x03 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Neomagic Magicgraph NM2200" rev 0x12 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) cbb0 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Texas Instruments PCI1251 CardBus" rev 0x00: irq 3 cbb1 at pci0 dev 2 function 1 "Texas Instruments PCI1251 CardBus" rev 0x00: irq 3 clcs0 at pci0 dev 6 function 0 "Cirrus Logic CS4610 SoundFusion" rev 0x01: irq 3 clcs0: codec ready timeout pcib0 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 "Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA" rev 0x02 pciide0 at pci0 dev 7 function 1 "Intel 82371AB IDE" rev 0x01: DMA, channel 0 wired to compatibility, channel 1 wired to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <IBM-DCXA-210000> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 9590MB, 19640880 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 atapiscsi0 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 0 scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <TOSHIBA, CD-ROM XM-1902B, 1717> SCSI0 5/cdrom removable cd0(pciide0:1:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 uhci0 at pci0 dev 7 function 2 "Intel 82371AB USB" rev 0x01: irq 3 usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered "Intel 82371AB Power" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 7 function 3 not configured cardslot0 at cbb0 slot 0 flags 0 cardbus0 at cardslot0: bus 2 device 0 cacheline 0x8, lattimer 0xb0 pcmcia0 at cardslot0 cardslot1 at cbb1 slot 1 flags 0 cardbus1 at cardslot1: bus 3 device 0 cacheline 0x8, lattimer 0xb0 pcmcia1 at cardslot1 isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0 sb0 at isa0 port 0x220/24 irq 5 drq 1: dsp v3.02 midi0 at sb0: <SB MIDI UART> audio0 at sb0 opl0 at sb0: model OPL3 midi1 at opl0: <SB Yamaha OPL3> pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi2 at pcppi0: <PC speaker> spkr0 at pcppi0 sysbeep0 at pcppi0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 pccom0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 biomask efcd netmask efcd ttymask ffcf pctr: 686-class user-level performance counters enabled mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0 "INTERSIL, HFA384x/IEEE, Version 01.02" port 0xa000/64 wi0: PRISM2.5 ISL3873 (0x800c), Firmware 1.1.0 (primary), 1.4.9 (station), address 00:02:6f:07:57:45 dkcsum: wd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80 root on wd0a rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302
