Actually.... I don't understand why we have "hayesesp0 at 0x280", and
then "come3 at hayesesp0 at 0x3e8".  Why the 0x3e8?  What does that
_mean_?

...this might be a work-around for buggy super-i/o chips?  If it doesn't
hurt in the general case, why not just always disable the FIFO?

Unless there are other bus attachments for Hayes ESP cards, that header
should be in sys/dev/isa.

It would be nice to have a sys/dev/ic driver for "com", but there needs to
be a nice way to have different names for the driver - i.e., on the hp300,
I don't want "com"s, I want "dca"s, and "apci"s.

I don't have a card, but I'll be glad to take a look.
