How high can you go with modern serial ports? I've seen choices as high as 115000 bits or something.advice you to try 38400 as well cause it's way faster then the 9600 and would make it easier to work.
I cannot say yet. But the serial console works when booting from the first Debian CD. I have not installed it yet but now it's at least feasible. I'l be doing it in a couple of days, I think.well I suspect that the kernel you are using has serial-consoel enabeld.
However, you may need to modify your /etc/inittab file after installation is complate to support a serial terminal.
Oh, will check that.
By the way, I don't think I really need your brltty mini ISO provided that i won't be having any major problems with serial install. I'd appreciate it if you kept it a few days, though, as I don't know if everything goes OK until actually having attempted the installation. Also, the Voyager is normally plugged to this laptop rather than to the Linux machine, so I won't be using braille big time in Linux yet. who knows if everything goes smoothly enough, I'll some day install Linux on all three machines.
Machine summary:
-music machine: 1.4 GHz Amd, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB ATA 100 HD, TerraTec EWS88 MT, Midiman USB MIDI-Sport 4x4, HardSID PCI, SB Live, GeForce 2
-laptop: 2.0 GHz P4, 512 MB RAM, 20 GB disk, built-in sound, Tieman Braille Voyager, Canon Scanner, Ati Radeon 7000 something
-upcoming Linux machine: 300 MHz Celeron, 128 MB RAM, 3 GB hard drive, AWE32, Ati Rage Pro, Voodoo 2
I'll be installing Linux to my slowest machine first as Windows is still currently my primary OS and I just want to try out Linux as well. If I decide to move to Linux big time, I'll likely install it on all the other machines including my music machine. Though the last time I looked, MIDI Sport 2x2 was supported but 4x4 was not. Oh well.
