When I boot up and the serial ports are probed my screen goes blank and the machine continues to boot and operate as normal (except for the totally blank screen). If I swap the Mach 64 for an old VGA card everything works OK. Therefore if I want to use FreeBSD I have to disable my serial ports. As a result I have no mouse and I can't use X windows. Any suggestions will be gratefully received Sinclair
