Hi,

I have an interesting problem, I have upgraded my CPU from 486/50
to a Pentium Overdrive/83 and sometimes on bootup sio1 is not seen.
It happens randomly and the only way to stop it is to boot up with
-c, go to visual, exit and continue the boot. Is there some timing factor
I need to
tweak in the sio driver?  I am running 2.1.0 RELEASE, I will upgrade
to 2.1.5 but my CD drive just died.  Sio1 is on a USR sportster 28.8
(16550A) and sio0 is the standard port on the motherboard (16450).
The machine is a Compaq Presario 850 with 16MB.
