THIS NOTE APPLIES ONLY TO OLDER VERSIONS OF THE LAVA
DSERIAL-PCI AND LAVAPORT-PCI. NEWER VERSIONS OF THESE
CARDS HAVE A CHIP WITH THE LAVA LOGO SILKSCREENED ON.

APPLIES TO WINDOWS 98.

The problem: neither port works, and the port settings
shown under "Multifunction Adapters" do not match
those shown under "Ports."

This "Parent Child Mismatch" problem is handled as
follows:
 
Go to Device manager and write down the addresses
for COM5, 6,7 and 8 by double clicking each port
in Ports and then going to Resources.

Then go to Multifunction Adapters in Device Manager
and double-click the first port entry and enter resources.

Then uncheck Automatic Settings and put in the addresses
you wrote down for COM 5 and 6 in there. Click OK and OK
again. Go to the next port in Multifunction Adapters
and put COM 7 and COM 8 in there.
