Linux Windows COM Ports equivalent
This information is asked during the
configuration of various software’s, so it’s best if you make a list of 'Which
Hardware - Which Port' for your machine, so that you can refer to it whenever
required.
The table shows the setup on my machine. If it’s the same on yours, then you can directly use these values.
Remember
that the translation of the Com Ports -> Linux files is the same everywhere,
but your particular hardware may not be on the same Windows Com Port as mine.
What I mean is, Com 1 in Windows is /dev/ttyS0 in Linux everywhere. But the
mouse need not necessarily be present on Com 1. The mouse might be present on
some other Com Port. You should know which hardware is on which Windows Com
Port on your machine.
| My Devices | Windows Com Port | Linux equivalent |
| Mouse | COM 1 | /dev/ttyS0 |
| External Modem | COM 2 | /dev/ttyS1 |
| Floppy Drive | Normal Floppy cable | /dev/fd0 |
| Printer | Lpt Port | /dev/lp0 |
| CDROM Drive | IDE cable | /dev/cdrom |
