Pretty soon, i'll have another hacked com driver for 386bsd done.
this one is based mostly on work done by some guys on the BSDI
com driver (same as ours was... 8-).
It deals properly with RTS/CTS (but currently stty is a bit hosed, RE
this... no "IFLOW"), and gets the 16550 stuff *right*...
in general, it works wonderfully.
(and for those who are wondering, it won't have a wierd copyright notice...)
send me mail (cgd@postgres.berkeley.edu) if you think you'd
like to help betatest it...
ALSO: does anybody have a multiport com driver working?
could you send it to me? just got a multiport board, and'd
like to save myself some work if i can...
(actually, i'd really just like to know the format of the status
byte on most multiport cards, and exactly how it's used...)
thanks,
Chris
