Is anybody working on (or already did) improving com.c ?
It works quite reliable for me on my box at work, which has fifo-chips.
Only a few silo overflows under heavy load, nothing serious. But it doesnt
work acceptable on this notebook - no fifo's and no chance to change
the chips.
I know the hardware is broken (I've written both OS-9/68000 serial drivers
for Motorola chips and DOS interrupt handlers for 16450, I can tell
the difference).
Any chances? Hints, Ideas, diff's are welcome...
Martin
