Tyan Tomcat i815ef (S24254) shows no com ports

I just picked up this old system and would like to get it working
properly. Running win2k pro. I am using a ps/2 mouse, so I know there
are com ports activated. However, the modem doesn't show in device
manager, and so will not work. Only com port showing up is ECP. What
gives? What am I not seeing here?

I have looked at the manual to see if there are some jumper settings
that I can use, but the manual doesn't really explain it all that well.

It shows a PJ2 jumper for some serial port setting, but doesn't explain
how to set it. There are either 10 or 12 pins in that jumper. Does
anyone have any more info?

I would really like to get this modem working, which I believe may mean
getting these com ports visible/active.

Any help would be appreciated. No email please.

 

OK, I haven't checked the manual, and don't own one of these so:

Firstly, the PS/2 mouse has nothing to do with the com ports, working or
otherwise.

Secondly, have you gone into the BIOS, and checked that the COM ports are
enabled in the BIOS settings??

Finally, if this doesn't work, try resetting your BIOS, and your manual
should tell you how to do this.

All the best
