[Shotimes] (OT) Serial Ports

[David Rosicke]

As long as the USB mapping goes to classical/legacy COM port settings and the controller software is mapped to the COM port not IRQ and I/O addresses, you should be OK.  If the software was intended for Windows '9X, I doubt it will work since Win2K doesn't allow direct hardware calls.
Does it work with WinNT?  If so, I'd think Yes.  WinNT supported HIghIRQ COM ports and non-standard I/O ports with minor tweaking.

have a clue?
