I have my modem and my UPS both connected to serial ports with the same interupt. Seems to work OK. These are both on the same card which was modified (not a lot of fun) to share the interupt. JDR Microdevices sells a 4-port serial board that is supposed to support shared interupts. On Sun, 11 Jan

Hi all! I've read a discussion about serial ports and interrupts and still have some doubts. WHY KERNEL'S SERIAL DRIVER IS WRITTEN IN THIS WAY THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SHARE INTERRUPTS? >From the hardware point of view it should be quite possible. The interrupt line is driven by a three-st

Re: Interrupts and serial ports

So I have taken every port to it's own interupt. But my question is: Why can I share interupt with parallel ports? I have lp1 and lp3 on the same interupt, and printing and the access to my Zip drive works fine! Chances are that, under Linux, lp1 is not really using an interrupt. The defa

The parallel port kernel driver doesn't use the interrupt by default, it uses polling. (It even says so in the boot messages, at least with my kernel.) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > > On Sun, 11 Jan 1998, Dan Hugo wrote: > > > ttyS1 - PalmPilot (or whatever it's

Interrupts and serial ports

1998-01-11 Thread Dan Hugo
I have a SIIG serial port ISA card so I can add on two more serial ports. I was looking through /etc/rc.boot/0setserial to see how everything is configured, and I noticed that in the manual configuration section, it attempts to setup the "COM1/3" and "COM2/4" ports to irq's 4 and 3, respectively.
