Nope, but it's fine with Linux... and although I probably shouldn't admit
this in public, it once ran Windoze without throwing up...

It's an add-on card with 2 16550s, running at a mere 38400, which I imagine
even a 16450 could handle without sweating too much.
I've mailed Jordan personally (and rather more politely), but I'm following
up to this since I'm seeking any more suggestions. This is really bugging
me. :-(
Ian.
