Software Installation 

Xtreme/104 adapters are standard multi-port serial adapters that utilize 16C654 quad UARTS.  
In many cases, users have software that will interface directly to the Xtreme/104 adapters.  Many 
operating systems come with handlers to control access to multiple 16550 style UARTS.  If you 
require further information please contact Connect Tech

Technical Tips: 
Your Xtreme/104 adapter may ship with a CD that includes 

howto.txt

 or 

readme.txt

 files.  Please examine these files for 

technical tips or release notes concerning installation and 
configuration of various device drivers and software utilities. 
 
If you did not receive a driver diskette or CD for your operating 
system or you require additional information, please go to the
