IBM PC - ATI video driver installation fails in OS/2 Warp

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
The video device driver for the ATI MACH32 ISA Video Adapter may fail to load in OS/2 WARP on a PC 300 or 700 Series system.

Problem Isolation Aids :
The ATI MACH32 ISA Video adapter is configured to use I/O address 2E8 which conflicts with the I/O address for COM4.

Fix :
Modify the OS/2 WARP CONFIG.SYS file as indicated below:

Change "DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS"
to
"DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (1,3F8,4) (2,2F8,3)"

REM out "DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS"

If the error persists, continue normal problem determination procedures.
