I've got a Byterunner tc800 set to 0x100 and irq 4 to correspond with an Arnet 8 port for use under SCO OpenServer for terminals (the motherboard com ports are disabled).
I'm having difficulty getting it to run under FBSD 4.6.0 (large numbers of dropped characters). I have confirmed that the hardware functions correctly by installing SCO OpenServer. I have confirmed that the GENERIC kernel works sucessfully with the motherboards com ports. I've reviewed man sio, LINT, handbook, and searched the maillist archives, the www and Byterunner web site. /usr/sbin/config returns a syntax error when the keywords tty, vector or siointr (see below) are used. * Could someone expand on the instructions in man sio especially the hex flags code and the use of tty and the other keywords. Current kernal config file= #device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 irq 4 #device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 #device sio2 at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 5 #device sio3 at isa? port IO_COM4 irq 9 options COM_MULTIPORT device sio0 at isa? port 0x100 flags 0x20705 ... device sio7 at isa? port 0x138 flags 0x20705 irq 4 * Example seen in maillist archives= device sio11 at isa? port 0x138 tty flags 0xb05 irq 12 vector siointr Oh yes and what does this mean?: You should set the 0x10000 flag (only in current yet) as well, to avoid the case where a pending IRQ from a higher port prevents sio`s test#3 from passing on a lower port. Advice and suggestions please. Is this question in the right place? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
