PSCOM.SYS: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 23:29, 12 September 2023

This driver is required for serial communications on ACPI systems.

DEVICE=\OS2\Boot\PSCOM.SYS <parameters>

Note: This line MUST appear after any driver that uses a communications port, but before USB serial drivers (e.g., USBSER.SYS and/or USBCOM.SYS).
Note: See other notes related to COM.SYS.
Tip: To specify address and interrupt manually, use the syntax (port,address,IRQ), e.g.:; Set COM3 and COM4 at address 3E8 on IRQ 4 and 2E8 on IRQ 3:

  DEVICE=drive:\OS2\COM.SYS (3,3E8,4) (4,2E8,3)

/V: Verbose
/W: Wait verbose mode. Displaying pauses with a "Press Enter to continue..." message.
/F: Find COM ports on PCI combo (serial/parallel) cards automatically.
