- The IER errors results from an inaccessible 16450 or 16550 port.
- Your use of the `singular' for the I/O port bothers me, each of the eight
- ports on the board should have a separate I/O address. I expect the 8i and 8e
- are the newer (and wholey technically undocumented for me at the moment)
- extended intelligent serial port cards.
-
- I use the Digiboard DigiCHANNEL PC/4 at this moment, and have used the
- Digiboard PC/8. Other Multiplexed or `dumb' multiple serial port cards will
- work too (BOCA 6 port card for instance).

- The files I have used are part of the Mux distribution under the
- `Configurations' directory.

- This is how I configured my PC/8.
