This is the README for RISCom/8 multi-port serial driver
(C) 1994-1996 D.Gorodchanin (pgmdsg@ibi.com)
See file LICENSE for terms and conditions.
NOTE: English is not my native language.
I'm sorry for any mistakes in this text.
Misc. notes for RISCom/8 serial driver, in no particular order :)
1) This driver can support up to 4 boards at time.
Use string "riscom8=0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX" at LILO prompt, for
setting I/O base addresses for boards. If you compile driver
as module use insmod options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..."
2) The driver partially supports famous 'setserial' program, you can use almost
any it option, exclude port & irq settings.
3) There are some misc. defines at the beginning of riscom8.c, please read the
comments and try to change some of them in case of problems.
4) I consider the current state of the driver as BETA.
If you REALLY think you found the bug, send me e-mail, I hope I'll
fix it. For any other problems please ask support@sdlcomm.com.
5) SDL Communications WWW page is http://www.sdlcomm.com.
6) You can use the script at the end of this file to create RISCom/8 devices.
7) Minors number for 1-st board are 0-7, for second 8-15, etc.
