1. INTRODUCTION
---------------
This driver package supports operation on Oxford Semiconductor's UARTs and
parallel port devices under Windows 98SE and Windows ME. Previously this

supplied in separate packages.
2. ENHANCEMENTS and BUG FIXES
-----------------------------
o Support added for the OXCFU950 both in the driver and user interface.
o Fixed problem where autodetecting crystal frequency in the UI could
overwrite any prescalar values specified in the inf file.
o Fixed problem where on some systems with the OXCF950, the driver would
fail to allocate resources.
o Driver split into separate package from the Windows 2000 & XP drivers.
3. KNOWN ISSUES
---------------
o Cannot standby or hibernate with open ports under Windows ME.
o Echo to OXCFU950 COM port immediately after power up does not activate port.
o If port is configured with DTR function set to RS485 Buf Active low, driver
incorrectly still allows port to be opened with DTR flow control enabled.
