Re: [misterhouse-users] Byterunner serial and Linux

[Ron K. <ro...@za...>]

I run ROCK linux with an 2.4.3 kernel.

This is what I get so far:
----------
Serial driver version 5.05 (2000-12-13) with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ
SERI
AL_PCI ISAPNP enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
-----------
Two of them are my onboard serials.

Looking at www.byterunner.com the vscardcfg stuff is
for PCI cards only.

Some people say I have to leave the jumpers (and there
ar alot of them on this card) on UNIX mode,
others say in STANDARD mode.

In FreeBSD it works with the standard serial drivers in
multiport config mode. (shared irq)

I switched to Linux for its better driver support, and viavoice,
but until now I have some cards not functioning which worked
in fbsd.
(miroPCTV card, Byterunner multiserial)

I'll try again soon.

Thanks,
Ron.
