[comp.windows.ms] New win3 comm.drv for 16550 UART

altman@sbcs.sunysb.edu (Jeff Altman) (02/08/91)

There is a Windows 3 device driver called TurboCom which provides 16550 UART    
support and breaks the 9600 baud barrier.  It also fixes several of the         
annoying aspects of the standard comm drivers having to do with comm port       
addresses and "who's go the comm port".                                         
                                                                                
                                                                                
It is available from Bio-Engineering Research Labs. Their address is:           
                                                                                
                                                                                
2831 7th St. Berkeley, CA 94710.                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
Phone # (415) 540-8080.                                                         
                                                                                
                                                                                
Costs about $20.

addresses and "who's go the comm port".

57.6k, completely backward compatible, addresses issues related to 
needing SETCOM for use with COM3 and COM4.  Virtualizes 16550 for 
DOS apps running in Enhanced mode.
Cost $22.95.

Works even on 286 and no characters are lost at high speeds.
