You need to configure the card for the serial port/address on a DOS pc, but you may then use it. I am running one in a netbsd 0.9 machine. No overflows ever. Netbsd sees it as a FIFO card (with a huge buffer). No idea if native netbsd drivers for the ESP card would produce greater throughput. -- The Wailer at the Gates of Dawn | banshee@cats.UCSC.EDU | Just who ARE you calling a FROOFROO Head? | | DoD#0667 "Just a friend of the beast." | banshee@ucscb.UCSC.EDU | 2,3,5,7,13,17,19,31,61,89,107,127,521,607....| banshee@ucscb.BITNET |
