Spiller) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: extra com ports on a 486 Date: 20 Apr 1994 21:12:41 GMT Organization: Computer Science Undergrad Assoc, UCBerkeley Lines: 19 Message-ID: <2p45s9$4c7@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.berkeley.edu I would like to add two more serial ports to my 486, but am not sure about the hardware that that would require... Currently I have the standard cheapo drive controller card with two serial/1 gmae/1parallel, IRQ's 3 and 4 for the coms... I got another one of these cards, but looking at the description, i only supports IRQ3 and 4 for the com ports also - no option for 5 and 9, as specified in the FreeBSD install notes... So, looks like I may need another card? Or is there some way to get this to work? (If I do need another card, would it be another wone of this type or something fancier? (ie > $20)). Thanks for any info that anyone can offer! Mark D. Spiller mds@soda.berkeley.edu
