Q119595

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
Typing MODE COMx:19200 results in the following error message:

Function not supported on this computer.

CAUSE
IBM PS/2-style computers support extended INT 14h services that allow the baud rate to be set up to 19200. MODE uses this extended function support to initialize COM ports on PS/2-style systems.

Most non-PS/2-class machines do not have a ROM BIOS that supports this extended functionality.

WORKAROUND
Rather than using MODE to set the baud rate, use an application that controls the COM port to set the baud rate.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
This information is true for previous versions of MODE.COM as well the version in Windows 95.
