	I don't know about the Mach64 driver but I do know that you will
need a patch for sio.c that adds an extra inb instruction to the serial
driver otherwise your system will hang the first time you access a
serial port.  This is due to a hardware bug in the imitation 16550 uarts.

	The patch has been posted a couple of times to the net.  I have
archives of several different versions for this problem.  I'm not sure which
of these is the definitive one else I would repost it.  If you can't
get it elsewhere Email me and I will send you one or all of them ;)
