Hahaha... geez... there's going to be a lot reply on this...

OK, yours is a simple problem, you need to enable the interrupts on the Super
Serial Card.  Someone will tell you exactly how since, I have a GS and don't
have to bother with these silly things...:)  called DIP switch...

Wanna know why there called DIP switches.... >:>   Just kidding...
