In bios setup, do you have the option of setting the I/O range for the port, or the interrupt line?

I've seen a similar problem where the system set the port to use the same address as the ISAPnP Read Data Port, but I have a feeling it did that because the interrupt line conflicted with something else.

Your problem may be different, but it can't harm to try it.

you could also see if your motherboard manufacuter has a BIOS Upgrade and flash the bios to see if it helps too.
