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)

Parameters

/V
Verbose
/W
