I notice that we have a driver for the ISA Riscom/8 multi-port serial card produced, I believe, by SDL in the mid-nineties. I have two of these cards, originally used with BSD/OS in 1994, and have been wondering about using them with FreeBSD. Unfortunately (and the reason this goes to -chat not -somethingelse), I don't have the manuals. The jumpers for IRQ selection are easily understandable, but the DIP switches to select things like I/O ports are not labeled. I attempted to contact SBS, the current owners of what used to be SDL, and they appear no longer to have the documentation, although they did me a manual from the T1 card they produced at the same time. I was wondering if anyone had access to documentation for these cards, or at least had an idea what each DIP switch actually set :-). Since I have two, I'd like to know what the I/O ports are set to, and if various other card settings are correct. I also wouldn't mind learning if anyone knows if the device driver even still works -- it probably should be moved out of i386/isa if it does.
