My WIndows XP has only COM1 listed. I need to add a COM2
and COM3. When I go to add hardware, it asks for driver
location. I can't find the driver "INF" file anywhere on
the Windows XP CD or in the System32 subdirectory.
Please help !

Ports are turned on ok.

3f8/IRQ4. I'm using Windows XP on a clone.
