AlienFan Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi, I know that it sounds a bit strange, but it possible to make use of the legacy serial ports on my mainboard (a Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2). I'm just wondering about this if it is even possible as I never heard about that. But right now I have a project here by hand where I would like to program a controller which is attached to my serial port. Cheers, Alien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
