 # Virtual serial driver sample
 
 This sample demonstrates these two serial drivers:
 
 - A simple virtual serial driver (ComPort)
+
 - A controller-less modem driver (FakeModem).This driver supports sending and receiving AT commands using the ReadFile and WriteFile calls or via a TAPI interface using an application such as, HyperTerminal.
 
 This sample driver is a minimal driver meant to demonstrate the usage of the User-Mode Driver Framework. It is not intended for use in a production environment.

 # Serenum sample
 
 Serenum enumerates Plug-n-Play RS-232 devices that are compliant with the current revision of Plug and Play External COM Device. It loads as an upper filter driver to many different RS-232 device drivers that are compliant with its requirements and performs this service for them.

+Serenum implements the Serenum service and its executable image is serenum.sys.
 
 Serenum is an upper-level device filter driver that is used with a serial port function driver to enumerate the following types of devices that are connected to an RS-232 port:
 
 - Plug and Play serial devices that comply with Plug and Play External COM Device Specification, Version 1.00, February 28, 1995.
+
 - Pointer devices that comply with legacy mouse detection in Windows.
 
 The combined operation of Serial and Serenum provides the function of a Plug and Play bus driver for an RS-232 port. Serenum supports Plug and Play and power management.

 This sample builds a Universal Windows Driver. It uses only APIs and DDIs that are included in OneCoreUAP.
 
+## Sample overview
+
 This sample driver is functionally equivalent to the inbox driver, with these two exceptions:
 
 1. This sample does not support multi-function serial devices.
-2. This sample does not support legacy serial ports. Legacy ports are not detected by the BIOS, and are, therefore, not enumerated by the operating system.

+1. This sample does not support legacy serial ports. Legacy ports are not detected by the BIOS, and are, therefore, not enumerated by the operating system.
 
 The Serial sample driver runs in kernel mode.
 
 This sample driver supports power management. When a serial port is not in use, the driver places the port hardware in a low-power state. When the port is opened, it receives power and wakes up. The driver supports wake-on-ring for platforms that support this function. The driver can be compiled to run on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
