Open Compact Flash Com port

[Romain TAILLANDIER]

Hi group

I make a RFID program, which whork on any pocket PC with a compactFlash.
I just have to know what is the number of the com port where the
CompactFlash Slot is ?
on mine is 8. for the moment i try to open all the com port until i get the
one with the RFID reader. But sometimes another Com port (bluetooth in my
case) reply.
Co how can i know on which com port i have to work ?
I am sure there is some registry key or something.

thank you !

If you go through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active and look through all the
keys in there (1 to xx) the values in there should tell what is assigned to
which comm port.

Exactly, there's no right answer to the original question. It might be
*any* COM port (or it might not even be assigned a COM<x> name at all).
Check with the CF card manufacturer...
