Linux reports:
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq=4) is a 16550A

Unfortunately, I have no additional card and the only other COM port
are pins on the motherboard. I confirmed from the motherboard manual
that COM1 is on the back of the motherboard and COM2 is an optional
pinout on the board. I disabled COM2 and enabled COM1 in the bios.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Is the port really working? Or/and
oes the blaster really work? I can't see that it wouldn't I checked to
make sure it was indeed soldered (!). Maybe it's a bad LED?
