1. Introduction

The USB Serial Adapter provides a standard serial interface to a PC equipped with USB without requiring an add-in card. It supports many existing applications and devices, providing true Plug-and-Play capability. By default, the USB Serial Adapter installs without taking up any resources. In this mode, most standard Windows

applications can communicate with the device without using IRQ or memory location resources. The device can also be easily set up to support DOS applications that require specific resources.
