	Serial Port (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The 25-pin serial port is nearly a thing of the past, having been replaced by the 9-pin serial, and more recently, by the USB connector.
		The 9-pin serial port is still very commonly used for connecting many peripherals, in spite of the increasing popularity of the USB interface.
		The trusty old 9 pin serial port is considered by many to be a part of the past (known as the 'Legacy' period), and is an expense the PC manufacturers would like to, and largely have, eliminated.

		Port multipliers are silicon-based devices that allow a single Serial ATA port to communicate with multiple drives.
		Port multipliers typically reside on an enclosure’s backplane and are transparent to the drives.
		A port multiplier is a silicon-based unidirectional fan-out device, typically residing on an enclosure’s backplane.

	Serial port - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Presence of a D-subminiature connector is neither necessary nor sufficient to indicate use of a serial port.
		Serial ports use two-level (binary) signalling, so the data rate in bits per second is equal to the symbol rate in baud.
		Virtual serial port emulation can be useful in case there is a lack of available physical serial ports or they do not meet the current requirements.

	Introduction to RS232 Serial Communications
		Parallel ports are typically used to connect a PC to a printer and are rarely used for much else.
		The serial port on your PC is a full-duplex device meaning that it can send and receive data at the same time.
		Serial ports use both 9 and 25 pins, many devices can be configured as either DTE or DCE, and - as in the case of many data collection devices - may use completely non-standard or proprietary pin-outs.

	Using the Serial Port with a MATLAB GUI
		The serial port on the back of the DSP box can be used to transmit data between the DSP and the PC during real-time operation.
		The serial port is connected to a data buffer which holds values coming from the DSP until they are read.
		Since the serial port only outputs single bytes at a time, the max integer that can be acquired is 255 and the min is 0.

	K3CCDTools - Serial Port Settings
		USB to Serial Port adapter is compatible with standard serial port only on software level, but it is sufficient for using this adapter with K3CCDTools.
		Another problem of serial port is that output levels of serial ports are -12V and +12V, while parallel port has 0V and 5V.
		There are several ways of converting serial port signals to the levels of parallel port signals.

	Howstuffworks "How Serial Ports Work"
		Considered to be one of the most basic external connections to a computer, the serial port has been an integral part of most computers for more than 20 years.
		Although many of the newer systems have done away with the serial port completely in favor of USB connections, most modems still use the serial port, as do some printers, PDAs and digital cameras.
		Essentially, serial ports provide a standard connector and protocol to let you attach devices, such as modems, to your computer.

	Serial Port Communication
		Serial communication is a popular means of transmitting data between a computer and a peripheral device such as a programmable instrument or even another computer.
		Serial communication uses a transmitter to send data, one bit at a time, over a single communication line to a receiver.
		Serial communication is popular because most computers have one or more serial ports, so no extra hardware is needed other than a cable to connect the instrument to the computer or two computers together.

	Interfacing The Serial / RS-232 Port
		The serial port transmits a '1' as -3 to -25 volts and a '0' as +3 to +25 volts where as a parallel port transmits a '0' as 0v and a '1' as 5v.
		Therefore the serial port can have a maximum swing of 50V compared to the parallel port which has a maximum swing of 5 Volts.
		Serial Ports come in two "sizes", There are the D-Type 25 pin connector and the D-Type 9 pin connector both of which are male on the back of the PC, thus you will require a female connector on your device.
