It has more. You can get it at agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/??? Or you can install npx-0.4, intr-0.0, com-0.2 from Bruce Evans. This is a better solution since it speeds up your system, fixes the broken fp- exception handling and gives you a FAST com-driver. If you want bidirectional support, or mult-com-board handling, wait another 2 weeks. My pathes are tested by then (I hope). I don't know where to get Bruce's packages, but try lookig at agate or use archie. >Also, send information about developer mailing lists, etc... >thanks, >clint >-- >+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ >| Clint Wolff Blonde and proud of it | >| Staff Engineer | >| Fujitsu Computer Products of America - Intellistor Research and Development | >+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ >| They pay me to think...
