Quatech asynchronous serial device driver for the Quatech ISA and PCI boards for DOS. QVCOM.SYS replaces IBM's VCOM.SYS.

DEVICE=QVCOM.SYS (port,io,irq)

Parameters

port: Port number, 1 or 2 decimal digits; The actual port number. For example, for COM3, use "3" or "03".
io: Base I/O address, 3 or 4 hex digits; The base I/O address where the serial port will pretend to reside. For example, to masquerade at 3e8 hex, use "3e8" or "03e8". This address range should not be used by any other hardware in the system.
irq: Interrupt (IRQ) level, 1 or 2 decimal digits; The hardware interrupt level (2-15) the serial port will pretend to use. This IRQ should not be used by any other hardware in the system.
