Compaq COM-2(PC)F, RS-232C

Appendix

COM-2(PC)F 41

Notes! -All the sample programs must be run on a PC operating under

MS-DOS.

-Sample programs 3, 4, 6, and 10 cannot be used on a PC that

already has COM1 and COM2 ports. Similarly, sample

programs 11 cannot be used on a PC that already has COM3 and

COM4 ports.

-As sample programs 8 and 9 use half-duplex mode, they can only

be used with the COM-2PD(PC) board.
