I need to add 2 serial lines to my G4 "sawtooth" running netbsd-macppc
(the 20000606 snapshot). the macppc FAQ mentions USB serial
support but no mention of PCI serial. PCI serial cards
are mentioned in the "Machine-independent PCI drivers" page.
Q: can these "universal" comm cards be expected to work OK on netbsd-macppc?
comments on favored cards would be helpful.
thanks,
-cliff-
