UART/parallel port Reference drivers

Windows 9x/ME drivers

---------------------



Features: Automatic enumeration of all 95x UARTs, both internal and local bus

          95x-mode driver for enhanced serial port performance

          GUI configuration for all serial ports

          Hook to use generic driver for Parallel port

            (can disable parallel port interrupt)



Windows 2000/XP drivers

-----------------------



Features: Automatic enumeration of all 95x UARTs

	  95x-mode driver for enhanced performance

	  GUI configuration for all serial ports

	  PCI serial ports run in memory-mapped mode for faster throughput

	  Parallel port driver

	  COM port remapping under port properties (Device Manager)

	  ACPI Power Management support



Windows NT4 drivers

-------------------



Features: Automatic enumeration of 95x UARTs

          128-deep FIFO and fill level usage

          Optimised interrupt handling, tx FIFO topped up on all interrupts

          Registry or .inf-settable Vendor/Device IDs, trigger levels.

          Memory-mapped operation for increased throughput.

          Seperate parallel port driver and installer



To install the serial port driver, run "Install_Serial" from the \NT4_Serial directory

To install the parallel port driver, run "Install_Parallel" from the \NT4_Parallel directory
