I should have mentioned (based on the private mail I've received) that one of the things I tried was resetting the bus speed to 30Mhz, and the serial console still didn't work. The new serial port card I got works with the bus set to 30 and to 33, so I'm doubly happy. Doug -- "My mama told me, my mama said, 'don't cry.'
