#/etc/default/async

#This file contains commented-out entries for all multi-port async cards
#that have been tested at MWC, along with an explanation of how each
#board was set up, and where to get in touch with the manufacturer.
#Setups shown below are examples of actual working configurations on one
#system;  for most boards, there are many possible valid configurations.

#There are many differences among the boards.  Things to consider in
#selecting a serial board:
#-  Is the board available with 16550A-compatible (FIFO) UART parts?
#-  Are all common RS-232 circuits available for each port?  This
#   includes TD/RD/DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS/CD/RI.
#-  Is there a group status register so that individual parts do not have
#   to be polled when the board issues an interrupt?
#-  Is there provision in hardware for dealing with limitations of the
#   edge-triggered interrupt system on the AT bus?  SEALEVEL, GTEK, and
#   Comtrol offer this.
#-  Can boards be chained on the same interrupt line?
#-  What sort of cables and connectors are provided with the board?
#-  Are UART parts socketed?
#-  Is documentation intelligible and complete?
#-  Is technical support helpful, and readily available?

#The "asy" driver shipped with COHERENT 4.0 allows you to mix several
#different board types on the same system, as long as each port has its
#own channel number and the total number of channels is no more than 32.
#Each board should be configured to occupy a unique interrupt number,
#unless you are chaining boards specifically designed to allow sharing of
#an interrupt line.

#The file begins with uncommented entries for the usual com1-com4,
#occupying channels 0-3.  Unless noted otherwise, all sample multiport
#configurations are shown in addition to these ports, with additional
#channels starting at number 4.

#TURBO COMM+8

#The configuration of the TURBO COMM+8 below shows how this board can be
#used to give three ports their own interrupt - they will be connected to
#modems, and will have heavy traffic - and put the remaining five ports
#in a single group on another interrupt line.  Port channels start at 0
#as this system is used without conventional com1-com4 equipment.

#single port at 0x280 using irq 4
#single port at 0x288 using irq 3
#single port at 0x290 using irq 10
#remaining five ports at i/o base 0x298, irq 7, status at 0x287
