What is the PCI Serial Port Windows Driver?
The PCI Serial Port refers to a serial communication interface that connects a computer to external devices, typically through a COM port (RS-232) interface. It's often used for connecting legacy peripherals such as modems, barcode scanners, GPS devices, and other serial communication equipment.
In the context of Windows, the PCI Serial Port is typically associated with a serial controller card or a motherboard chipset that provides one or more serial communication ports via the PCI bus. A driver is required to allow Windows to properly recognize and use these serial ports for communication.
The driver for the PCI Serial Port enables the operating system to interact with and use the serial port hardware, allowing software applications to send and receive data over the port.
