Hi,

has anybody managed to get a PCCOM Decision Computers 8 port
serial card to work with the freebsd cy driver.

The card appears to be a cyclom 8 port clone and also looks very similar
(judging from the picture on the web sites ;-))

The card is detected ok but refuses to trigger any interrrupts.
I.e. vmstat -i doesn't show any interrupts.

The DOS diagnostic program risc.exe reports the card to be ok
so I don't think it's a hardware problem.   The card also came with
a leaflet that claimed it to work with the linux cyclades driver.

Any tips ?

Greetings
Christian
