There is a link for a driver on the dowload page of spice: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://spice-space.org/download.html">http://spice-space.org/download.html</a> under "Windows binaries:", current link is <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/virtio-serial_20110725.zip">http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/virtio-serial_20110725.zip</a> which looks relatively recent. I don't remember the upstream location for the drivers, I'll try to find it and update, but I think those should be good, let me know if they aren't. Note that this is not the serial device you should also have in the vm, i.e. COM1, but a different device.

I also must be blind too, as I can not find an "other devices" in my virt-manager. Please forgive the picture, but this is what I see: <img alt="virt-manager" src="cid:part1.01040200.01000501@gmail.com" height="612" width="821"> This is so frustrating.  What am I doing wrong?
