Last I saw, the Linux and BSD/OS drivers were for the `smart' boards. I
worked for quite some time on a PC/8 `dumb' board before I finally gave
up; no documentation, no vendor support, and a tendency to hang the
system combined to thwart my efforts. It's gone now, traded for an AST 4
port board filled with 16550s.
