General serial adapters
By default, a serial port driver automatically detects the I/O port and IRQ.
Multiport serial adapters
For multiple serial adapters, you may need to specify the I/O port and IRQs manually in the driver for each port.
Parallel ports
On a standard PC and some x86 systems, parallel ports use the devc-par driver; see the BSP documentation for the driver for your target hardware.
Terminals
On a standard PC and some x86 systems, the devc-con or devc-con-hid driver controls the physical console, which consists of the display adapter, the screen, and the system keyboard.
