Support for COM3 and COM4 is availiable even in 0.1, you just need to add the lines to your config file. Patchkit 0.2.3 does add the defines so that you can use IO_COM3 and IO_COM4 in the config file, also the GENERICISA kernel has been updated to include this support. I am regreatting haveing to say that Chris' com drivers will probably not end up in the patchkit, I have decided to get Bruce Evan's intr code in one way or the other and his com driver, I believe that even Chris is behind this idea (Chris?). I know of someone working on getting all of Chris's BIDIR and modem support stuff into Bruce's com driver. This is a much better solution to a lot more problems that Chris's drivers. >ALso, is there a status report for the latest patchkit posted anywhere ? Not, yet, I am taking time out right now from working on the real patchkit to produce a posting about what is currently in the next release, expect it within the next day, I am going to double post it, so that I do not have to wait for c.o.3.announce to get it out.. > Many thanks in advance ! >-- >- wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@agora.rain.com 386BSD patchkit coordinator Wish it payed real money!
