- Are you using the Sealevel SCC card with a Z8530 or intel 82530
- SCC chip? Sorry to say I don't necessarily have your answers for
- you. But, I am currently writing device drivers for this board and
- have run into some strange problems.
-
- Yes you may be having problems with multiple ports or you might
- possibly want to check what IRQ line your peripherals are using.
- This chip uses up 5 consecutive I/O ports for the two channels and
- modem control. I have found the diagnostic software can't handle
- my bus mouse using IRQ5 when all Ints on the card disabled!
-
- If by some chance you learn more about this device I'd appreciate
- hearing about it.
