 from the drop down list.  Some applications

may not be able to access ports higher than COM4.  To use the SSP-100 PCMCIA
serial ports with these applications you might be forced to remove other serial
communications devices from your system

7. To modify the

click on the up/down arrows to the right of the Interrupt Request value.  This scrolls
you through all of the allowable resources for your hardware.  Pay attention to the
conflict information at the bottom of the window.  Do not select a value that causes a
conflict with any other installed hardware.  

8. If any changes have been made to the SSP-100’s configuration the card will

automatically be reconfigured to the new resources specified.  Any time a PCMCIA
card of this type is inserted Windows 95/98/ME will attempt to configure the card at
these resource settings.  Click the

 box to reset this card type

for automatic configuration.
