Hello,

does someone know wether there exists a document where I can find the
devicename differences between windows and Linux/Unix.

For example:
To program the serial port with Cygwin the devicename for Windows must be
/dev/com1 and on Linux /dev/ttyS0.

So I want to know which names the other devices should have for example the
keybord?

Is there a document where I can read this or doesn't this make any sense?
Can I also try the Linux conventions?

Thanks in advance

Frank
