I've got a circa 1996 Stallion EasyIO-4 serial card here, based on the Cirrius Logic 1400 chip, and althought there are some files still in the 4.3-RC related to it, it simply doesn't want to work with the lates releases. It appeears to compile into the kernel ok, and shows up in dmesg. I can even get a modem attached to a port to ... hmmm... kind of respond. However, it doesn't actually work - can't control the modem at all. I get a warning from the kernel about the way it calls dev_t, and dmesg warns that it is using old shims. so. Is there anyone out there who knows about these sorts of things who might like to help a bit in getting this code up to speed for the latest releases. There are a number of unsupported versions of the driver on ftp.stallion.com as well as the code in the /usr/src/sys tree. See README.stl in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa for more (outdated) detail. It would be really nice to get this board going. Stallion stuff is very robust and has been around for years. I don't know why it hasn't made inroads much past SCO... and with a modem on one port, the UPS on another port (com1/com2) I'm pretty much in need of more ports - not to mention no mouse.... I'm reasonable familiar with C and stuff, programming in general, although not much in the serial department. Thanks for any help if anyone would like a small challenge.... cheers Robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
