Only a couple serious problems so far: * old com driver, no multiport support Has anyone hacked CGD's driver to work under NetBSD? Or will a spiffy new driver be available soon? In the meantime, I sorta have the CGD driver working, but haven't incorporated the NetBSD changes into it. * occasional system hangs I don't know if this is because of the hacked com driver, because X is usually up and therefore ddb loses. (I haven't turned COMCONSOLE back on yet, so it's trying to use the display.) My system has hung three or four times in the last week. Has anyone else had this happen, and gotten some real data? Ken
