Goodmaneuver Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 You could add dummy ports in Win.INI then the next port to install will be named the next in the list. Remove redundant ports in Win.INI. Example of port config under [Ports] is COM2:=9600,n,8,1,x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetLow Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 It depends of software you try to run, to be precise. Few options: 1. HARDWARE Registry Subkey (HKLM\Enum\). Search registry keys with name == "PORTNAME" 2. BIOS Data Area, 40h:0 - 40h:7, 4 WORDs, BIOS known COM port base addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
