=DEVICE=Sio.sys=
The Sio.sys driver is a replacement for the com.sys driver. The Sio.sys driver can support up to 16 COM ports.
  DEVICE=C:\Os2\Boot\Sio.sys parameters
* DEVICE=C:bslbootbslSio.Sys (Cn, An, In, Ig, Fc) :hp4. [(Cn, An, In, Ig, Fc)] :ehp4.
o CN
The number of the Com port or the string COM1 to COMn.
If you use a * in front of the Com port, then the port will be used as a PCMCIA Com port.
o AN
A hexnumber to define the I/O address of the Com port.
o IN
The IRQ number (0 to 15) or the string IRQ0 to IRQ15. If you don't use this parameter, SIO will search for a IRQ.
o IG
This exists only for compatibility with COM.SYS and is ignored by Sio.sys.
