Yes. Under Windows 95/98/Me two port cards (DSP-100) can be installed to COM1 and COM3, COM 2 and COM 4 or any continuous block above COM 4 (COM 5 & 6, COM 6 & 7, etc.). Under Windows 95/98/Me Four port serial PCMCIA cards (QSP-100) MAY NOT be installed in COM 1 -COM 4. By default they will be installed in the lowest available continuous block above COM4. However, you may choose the continuous address block to which the ports are assigned. For example, COM 5,6,7 & 8; COM 6,7,8 & 9, etc.

This is a communication port on the back of the computer where your cable will plug into the computer.

Some unnamed clone cards have also been known to work, especially those that claim to be AST compatible. USB device support was added to FreeBSD 3.1. However, it is still in preliminary state and may not always work as of version 3.2. If you want to experiment with the USB keyboard support, follow the procedure described below. Add the following lines to your kernel configuration file, and rebuild the kernel.

No. According to Foxboro, their application must be used with a physical on board port. Third party hardware will not work. GM TIS 2000 software only recognizes COM ports 1 through 4. Thus, when configuring the SSP-100 in Windows Device Manager, make certain that it is assigned to COM 1, 2, 3, or 4. When you insert a PC Card in your Compaq Presario 1200-series laptop computer, you may receive a message that indicates MTD-0002 hardware is detected.

I use 3 com ports to run my navigation and communication software. One port takes the GPS nmea data, one port takes my Pactor Modem and one port controls the SSB. All sorts of peripheral equipment can be operated off of the USB ports. I keep an RF transceiver for a wheel mouse, a WIFI transceiver, an infrared dongle for internet over the cell phone and a printer plugged in all the time.

OPTI-SAFE+ requires a dedicated serial port. In this case you are suggested to: (1) use the USB port if your PC supports it. USB adapters can be purchased from OPTI-UPS sales department; (2) Add an additional I/O card (call any computer shop) to create a new serial port in your PC.

A serial port and a COM port, while closely related, are not the same. A serial port is a physical connection on the computer where a serial communications device, such as the PS-6155 dock station or a modem, attaches to the computer. Most computers have several serial ports (for the mouse and modem) and one parallel port (for the printer).

Quatech provides Windows CE drivers for our asynchronous serial PCMCIA cards. As Windows CE is implemented differently in different systems, the Quatech standard driver contains support files for only the most popular CE-based handheld devices. Click here for a list of supported devices. If the standard driver does not work with your equipment, please submit our Technical Support Request form to get the appropriate files for your system.

FIFO modes and baud rates are dependent upon a combination of UART and Operating System. The table below provides a complete list of features available for Quatech one and two port RS-232 serial PCMCIA Cards (SSP-100 and DSP-100) that are equipped with 16750 UARTs. Note that Quatech no longer provides support for PCMCIA cards under DOS. However, DOS drivers are available that should work in some installations.

Although serial to USB adaptors have reportedly worked, we cannot guarantee that the MicroScribe will communicate properly with the host machine using such an adaptor. For PC's: You have the option to upgrade your MicroScribe 3D to a MicroScribe G2 model, which is USB compatible. Check to make sure your software supports USB connection to the MicroScribe. Contact Immersion for more details. Yes, the MicroScribe G2 offers Mac compatibility.

USB features one "Universal" plug type for all USB peripheral-to-PC connections. USB has largely superceded the slower serial or parallel ports. A USB2 film scanner is backwardly compatible with a PC with USB 1.1. When you transfer scans from the scanner to the PC it will work OK. However if you upgrade your PC to USB2 the transfer will be forty times faster. Original USB or USB1.1 or USB carries data at the rate of 12 megabits per second (12Mb/s) or 1.5 megabytes per second* (1.

Q. I've tried to connect my 2100 with 8210 cable and nothing happens. Your program doesn't detect my phone.

The IBM ThinkPad also has a IrDA port that can collide with your serial/COM port. The best way to solve this problem is to disable the IrDA port. This can be done in the Device Manager (varies per operating system version). While you're there, verify that the serial/COM port is enabled. When asked, reboot the PC. This will re-enable the serial/COM port. After the computer reboots, return to the Device Manager and determine which port number the serial/COM is now on.

M11 accesses (even in the Linuxversion) the hardware (i.e. the port device) directly. Specifying the port is the same under DOS and Linux. For example selects the 2nd serial channel (COM2 under DOS). Under Linux this normally corresponds to /dev/cua1 or /dev/ttyS1, although M11 is not aware of devices like /dev/cua oder /dev/ttS.

Go to ControlPanel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->Ports (COM & LPT). Here you find all ports in your system. If you are unsure about what port to use, you can try them all. (Remember to restart StokerKontrol between each attempt). From StokerKontrol v1.4 the program will find the port automatically without any configuration.

The problem here is that FreeBSD has code built-in to keep the kernel from getting trashed due to hardware or software conflicts. The way to fix this is to leave out the IRQ settings on all but one port.

While installing from CDROM, the kernel boots, the messages mention the ATAPI IDE CDROM drive, but when selecting the Media, no CDROM drive gets detected.

The RS 232 cable for the unit uses two conductors and a shield. Pins two and three are the data with pin five being the shield.

Yes, because the SignaLink doesn't require a connection to the computer's serial port! Unlike other interfaces, the SignaLink never requires a serial port connection. This is particularly handy if your computer doesn't happen to have one! In addition to simplifying your installation, this feature also reduces the likelihood of the computer's RF noise getting into your radio. It also eliminates serial port related transmit problems that plague other interfaces.

The serial port should be located on the back of your computer. An example of a serial port image is provided here.

PC/104 systems treat serial ports as do ISA bus systems. All you need is a serial communication module that is compliant with the PC/104 bus architecture. There are usually no special steps involved in configuring the port, other than the standard port address/IRQ jumper settings often found on the module. Once the module is plugged in the stack, any communications software will be able to access the module in the same way it would be accessed if it were an ISA bus serial port.

There are two basic ways to do this. A simple but inefficient method is to set each port to the same IRQ and poll each port every time an interrupt is generated. Analogy - Imagine paging each of 8 employees offices to find out who paged you on the intercom. This is an example of polling. Each port/office gets checked but it takes time. The more efficient method is to have an Interrupt Status Port onboard the module. The interrupt status port tells you which port(s) generated the interrupt.

lines to your /etc/initab file: # this will initialize the modem port on startup md:b:once:i:/usr/sbin/runover .ttya /bin/stty 38400 You should of course change "38400" to whatever speed is appropriate for your site.

Teles PCMCIA (old hardware) - deprecated, since Teles often changes hardware, and does not support the developers (see question hardware_teles).

No. The 9408sl management module accepts standard PCMCIA cards that can be purchased at a local computer store. If they are formatted for a "16 FAT" file system, they're ready to use in the 9408sl. Also, there is a command to format the PCMCIA card while it is in the management module.
