Question:

Why would anyone want to use the ROM serial driver over the RAM serial driver?

Where is the RAM serial driver located?  In the System file?

Is the RAM serial driver included with all Systems?

I'm writing a program that needs to read and write to the serial port.  I want
it to work on a variety of different macs.  Is it wrong for me to assume that
the RAM serial driver will always exist on a system?

Thanks in Advance.
