PCMCIA Card Setup Installation in Win95 results in both functions on the PCMCIA card being treated as separate multifunction adapters with one port on each adapter. A multifunction parent card and two PCMCIA multifunction adapter cards (corresponding to each function on the card) can be found under the multifunction adapter section of the Device Manager (System=>Properties=>Device Manager).

CHAPTER 4 RS-232 PINOUTS AND PORT CABLING. Introduction This chapter gives details of the 9- and 25-pin RS-232 pin outs, cabling and connections, with information on how to connect the serial ports of two PCs and how to make a self-test loop-back connector.
9-Pin D Serial Port RS-232 Cables To connect to the AT style RS-232 serial port like those found on the PCMCIA Dual card you will need a cable terminating in a 9-way female D connector. It is sound practice to use cables with screws fitted that will allow you to fasten the cable securely to the PC card.
