- Its very necessary. An absolute life saver when debugging device drivers, and
- programs that use the display of the PC being worked on, (If you want to see
- the debugger on PM and debug the message thread of the application). Its not
- the most wonderful debugger in the wold, but quite powerful in its own respect,
- and also robust! (Watcom's wvideo dies at the drop of a hat sometimes, though
- not as much as Borlands Turbo Debugger).
-
- Oh yeah. Use COM2. I could never get my PC booted when trying to use COM1, so I
- moved the mouse from COM2 -> COM1, and moved the debugger to COM2 (The COM1
- option is only mentioned for the PM debugger part of the kernel debugger, so
- not really sure if COM1 is workable at all if you have 2 COM ports).
