Hmm... that'd be nice to have... My 8 serial/1 parallel card is full
(except parallel =) How does the dual cd180 differ from the single cd180
board as far as drivers go?
well, the way i planned things to work was:
spif* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
clcd* at spif? channel ?
cdtty* at clcd?
where with my card i'd have:
spif0 at sbus
clcd0 at spif0
cdtty{0..7} at clcd0
clcd1 at spif1
cdtty{8..15} at clcd1
so you're would be just the first 3 lines in my scheme (ie, there'd be no
clcd1 found).
i've got much of the code available to do this, but i never wrote the tty
handling code (well, copied & modified from elsewhere :) so it was never
useful to me yet. (i'm willing to send that code to anyone.)
