Setting the Options For Your Cards

Some cards have settings you can adjust. The two Serial Cards require special

attention: They won't work until you declare what sort of device is connected

to them.

This chapter does not explain how to adjust the settings. That information is

available in great detail in Chapter 5, "Reference." (You can use the index

make the adjustments in the Option Panel.
