Depends on how PICMaster is trying to address the serial port.  NT runs in a
protected environment where any access to the hardware (such as serial
ports) has to go through the operating system.  If PICMaster is trying to
directly control the serial port, NT will block it.

                My PICMaster Plus works just fine on a Win95 machine,
                but when I plug it into NT, it can't see the
                serial port.  I'm pretty sure I've got the IRQ's,
handshaking,
                etc correct, but nada.  Anybody else seeing this, or
                is just my NT configuration?
