The Cyclom-Y Windows 95/Windows 98 Driver supports all versions of Windows 95 and
Windows 98. Once the driver is installed in a computer, the board´s serial ports are seen by
Windows applications as generic COM ports. Dial-up access, terminal emulation and BBSs
are examples of applications that use serial ports in this environment.
