    Hello.

    I have a  couple of questions  that hopefully haven't  been answered to
    many times before:

    a) Does 386BSD support  the 16550 AFN UART ? Will it  use the FIFO ? If
    not, is  there any patch  available for making  386BSD using the  16550
    AFN? Or is support planned for 386BSD 0.2 ?

    b) Is  there any estimate for  386BSD 0.2 ? When  will it be available,
    what will be new/fixed ?

    c) What about the book 386BSD From the Inside-Out. It was mentioned for
    late 1992 in INSTALL.NOTES. Is this still valid?

    Regards,
	    Jan-Oliver
