Serial Port Interrupt Sharing (97474)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
This article was previously published under Q97474 SUMMARY
On all non-MCA (micro channel architecture) bus machines, Microsoft
Windows NT cannot share a single interrupt between any two serial
ports. You can have two serial ports configured to use the same
interrupt, but only one is allowed to be open at a time. The serial
port does not allow sharing the interrupt with anything other than
another serial port.
