- Please be aware that the com drivers are slightly different in 0.0 and 0.1.
- Careful perusal of the code will show strategically placed -1's.
- DO NOT JUST DROP THE OLD DRIVER IN THE KERNEL AND RECOMPILE.
- change the system config file, reconfigure, and remake the device nodes.
- how? note in 0.0 com0 and com1, and in 0.1 com1 and com2.
- MAKEDEV in 0.1 also wants to make com00 and com01 or some such.
-
- Somebody wanted to ease the use of 0.1 and DOS users
- to the confusion of others.
- Please note that my lpt patches in unoffical on agate follow the same
- strange logic.
