The sio driver no longer probes com3 (or whichever one it was) by default. The only bug that really existed was that the sio driver probed every comport even if it was only supposed to check one. I'm using a Mach64 here, and it works great (although you may need to get a beta X server from the ftp.xfree86.org if it uses one of those `CT' or `VT' (I think it's `VT' -- don't quote me) chips). -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
