- It supports two address ranges, 0x1a0-0x1bf, or 0x2a0-0x2bf in the 'enhanced'
- mode where all four ports share one interrupt line, which can be 2/9,3,4,5,6,7.

- + -------
- + Tcl/Tk patches working under beta. Setenv/unsetenv hack may not be
- + robust. Problems with the strod function as provided by the package (
- + BSDI has a prototype for the function but not the function itself ).

- + Tcl/Tk patches also working under beta.

- + -------
- + We aquired a used DEC hard drive which did not seem to spin up at all.
- + After digging around an Ultrix system, we discovered that the drive
- + needed a START_UNIT command to get it going. Here is a fix for the
- + scsi/sd.c driver which will issue a start unit upon boot (only to a
- + DEC drive at this moment. Issueing the start unit did not
- + cause problems for other drives, so I think the DEC compare can be
- + safely removed). If anyone else is having trouble getting unknown drives
- + to spin-up this will probably fix the problem.
- + tomm@ingres.com (Tom Markson)
- + -------
- + (GAMMA) We seem to get a lot of requests to look up ASC/ASCQ codes...
- + I'll append a patch to the scsicmd sources below which will let you
- + extract an English translation of these values like this:
- +
- + % scsicmd -a 0x14/0
- + recorded entity not found
- + %
- +
- + Scsicmd appears in gamma; if you don't have gamma and you want scsicmd,
- + ask Jeff for a copy.

- + (GAMMA) Patch for problems with floating point instructions in rundos
- + envirionment.

- + -------
- + (GAMMA)
- + I can't live without my 8 port serial card, so I quickly hacked
- + gamma 0.9 com.c to support it with my generic multiport modifications.
- +
- + While testing the bidirectional line usage, I discovered a bug, at
- + least in my opinion, in the DCD detection (fix included).
- +
- + This version isn't as robust as the latest stuff I had for beta 0.3.3,
- + but it works. Also, something is interfering with the bidirectional
- + line usage.
- +
- + (Sorry about posting this to both gamma and beta lists, but I wasn't
- + sure if a gamma list exists)
- +
- + You have to add something along the lines of the following to your config
- + file:
- +
- + # COM ports
- + # APT HSS08 multi-port serial card
- + device com0 at isa? port 0x100
- + device com1 at isa? port 0x108
- + device com2 at isa? port 0x110
- + device com3 at isa? port 0x118
- + device com4 at isa? port 0x120
- + device com5 at isa? port 0x128
- + device com6 at isa? port 0x130
- + device com7 at isa? port 0x138
- +
- + The HSS08 shares one IRQ for all the ports, so I get warnings about
- + conflicting IRQs from the autoconfigurator during boot, but it works.
- +
- + I also added:
- + stty -f /dev/com0 clocal
- + stty -f /dev/com1 clocal
- + ...
- +
- + to my /etc/rc.local, so things would stop blocking unexpectedly.
