+/** MAX3100 An external serial IO device.
+ *
+ * The MAX3100 librray is designed to allow the easy attachment of additional
+ * serial ports to the Mbed. We all know that the Mbed already has 3 potential
+ * serial ports. But maybe you need more ports or maybe you need to use the Mbed
+ * pins for an alternative function. The MAX3100 may well be able to help in 
+ * situations like these. 
+ *
+ * Each MAX3100 device you create in is TX/RX buffered with 32 characters in a circular
+ * buffer system.
+ *
+ * The MAX3100 uses at least one Mbed SPI port and additional DigitalOut and InterruptIn
+ * pins to work. However, you can attach multiple MAX3100 devices to a single SPI "bus".
+ *
+ * For more information on attaching multiple devices see all the examples listed below.
+ *
+ * @see example1.h
+ * @see example2.h
+ * @see example3.h
