Figure 9: Windows 7 Drivers removed

3.2 Card and Port Configuration

Each card is organized in two types of components in the system. One type is for the card itself,

i.e. the basic PCI interface. The other type is for the ports. This is reflected in Windows and the

driver software.

3.2.1 Card and Ports in Device Manager

The category where the VScom cards are installed is ‘Multi-port serial adapters’. And as expected

there is the category of ‘Ports (COM & LPT)’ for the serial ports. Both categories are standard on

Windows.
