Disable USB and Serial ports

[chaks Profile]

Hi,

I would like to permanently, irreversibly disable both the USB and 3-pin serial ports in my FX9860GII (USB Powergraphic).

- Are there syscalls which will achieve this? What are they?
- Is there a hardware way of doing this?

Thanks!

There are no syscalls for that.
According to the hardware...if you want to disable a connector ("permanently, irreversibly"), a drop of superglue would spoil any connector (though the thought of doing such thing hurts). Please do not do that!
