Using SerialStream.cs under 98

[Brink]

In attempting to use the GotDotNet SerialStream class under Win98 a
call to CreateFile("COM1",....) is failing. A call to
Marshal.GetHRForLastWin32Error() returns a code of 0x80070078 ("call
valid only in Win32 mode").

Does anyone know if this indicates that the CreateFile() call will
just not work under Win98 or is there possibly some other problem?

Yes, unfortunately SerialStream simply doesn't work under 98. You'll have
to wait for a future release of the .Net Framework.
