==Detection==
==Detection==
This section needs details on exactly how to detect serial ports using legacy device techniques. It also doesn't mention IRG 3/4, if im not mistaken... do these not report incoming data or is that a BIOS thing? --[[User:Tyler|Tyler]] 06:51, 9 January 2007 (CST)

== Baud rate ==
I'm not SerialPorts guru, but bauds is usually symbols per second on the wire, and afaik, each symbol on a RS-232 line will only carry 1 bit, so the baud rate (here) is more likely to be the bitrate than the byte-per-second speed ... note however than modems typically send many bits per baud (because you may have more than 2 waveforms used), but not necessarily 8 of them ... Someone should check the specs and confirm/correct. - [[User:PypeClicker|PypeClicker]] ''(copy from osfaq - [[User:Combuster|Combuster]] 04:05, 20 January 2007 (CST))''

== Pages to convert ==
PLEASE mark the page as converted next time, you had me do almost everything a second time. - [[User:Combuster|Combuster]] 04:40, 20 January 2007 (CST)
