Wizard, and begin driver installation. When installation is
complete,Windows will set the hardware addressing & interrupt
using the drivers and the Plug and Play function of the Operating
System.

the driver for the PCI Serial card, the second part installs the
serial driver for the Com Port A & B (Port A=Port 1, Port B=2).
NOTE: The single or dual-port RS-232 PCI Serial Adapter cards will
be identified as the 3PCISD1 (232PCI1x) or 3PCISD2 (232PCI2x) by
the drivers. They are functionally the same to the Operating
System, except for the number of ports supported.
