Driver Customisation
The U111 is a PCMCIA card reader capable of supporting direct access to IO and Memory spaces of a 16 bit PCMCIA card via a custom driver interface.
The U111 firmware also supports standard 16550 UART interfaces directly. For serial class devices (like modems), the driver will export a standard USB Communications Class device to the Windows 2000,2003 & XP operating systems. This allows a PCMCIA COM port or Modem to be supported via the standard Windows USB serial driver (usbser.sys).
