1. INTRODUCTION

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

This driver package supports operation on Oxford Semiconductor's UARTs and

parallel port devices under Windows 98SE and Windows ME. Previously this

package was combined with the Windows 2000 & XP drivers. These are now

supplied in separate packages.





2. ENHANCEMENTS and BUG FIXES 

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



o Support added for the OXCFU950 both in the driver and user interface.

o Fixed problem where autodetecting crystal frequency in the UI could 

  overwrite any prescalar values specified in the inf file.

o Fixed problem where on some systems with the OXCF950, the driver would 

  fail to allocate resources.

o Driver split into separate package from the Windows 2000 & XP drivers.







3. KNOWN ISSUES 

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



o Cannot standby or hibernate with open ports under Windows ME.



o Echo to OXCFU950 COM port immediately after power up does not activate port.



o If port is configured with DTR function  set to RS485 Buf Active low, driver

  incorrectly still allows port to be opened with DTR flow control enabled.
