| I bought a k7s5a pro last month and it is working fine.
The motherboard manual mentions an onboard modem and a
second serial port.
Can someone tell me where the connections are on the motherboard?

The 'onboard modem' connection is the AMR slot (the small slot just
above the AGP slot) - you need an AMR modem card to get this to work.
It's an OEM thing, really; you're best off just getting a PCI modem.
The K7S5A Pro doesn't have a second serial port. The text was clearly
lifted from the manual for the original K7S5A (which does have two
serial ports) and they didn't bother to correct it.

Thanks for the modem info. But the BIOS shows that there is a second
serial port as does the HWINFO program.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: k7s5a pro |

You have an appendix, but that doesn't mean it does anything.

Again, that's a holdover from the original K7S5A. HWINFO is probably
getting its info from the BIOS, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a
physical serial port connection on the board.

I suspect the pro board uses a standard super i/o chip, and the
software control registers are present for the serial port, but the
connector is not present.
