simulating pnp com device id's

i am writing a driver for a serial device that does not exist yet. i want to
make sure the driver gets loaded by the windows once i plug in the device.

is there a way of simulating pnp com device id's?
e.g. with another computer hooked to my com port?

thank you.

yes, you can simulate the device by using a null serial cable. you don't
even need another computer if you have enough com ports (one for the device,
one for serenum, one for the kernel debugger). the application just has to
change the line signalling under the appropriate spec guidelines.

Hello,
Yes, you can do it with help of special utility (PnP Com Simulator). The
utility must be run on second PC and connected to the developer's PC via
NULL modem cable
(possible to use one PC with 2 serial ports). I described usage of this
utility here: http://www.bds.dogma.net/pnp_part1.htm (part 2) .
Hope, it will help.
