- After I use my COM1 port a 16550 with software that recognises it and
- uses the FIFO I sometimes (maybe always) loose the com port afterwards.
- MSD fails to see anything and it is not listed after a control-alt-delete
- reboot.It only comes back after a power cycle.
-
- I assume its just msd etc. being fooled by the state the chip is left in. Is
- there a handy dandy way or utillity to reset it?
