Jameco 8-port serial card?

Jameco 8-port serial card?

Post by Joe Pfeiffe » Fri, 26 May 2000 04:00:00



Has anyone gotten the 8-port PCI serial interface card sold by Jameco
to work under Linux?  I'm particularly wondering if it needs any of
the set_multiport options...  the README file shipped with the board
doesn't mention that in discussing configuring with setserial, but
then they also don't give any serious attention to having more a
two-port card.  My current status is I'm not getting any signs of life
out of it using it to talk to another machine with minicom, but
haven't hooked up a breakout box to it yet.

Thanks in advance,

A bit more information -- while Jameco sells it as their own, the
paper manual enclosed is copyrighted by ``U.S. Offshore Co., Ltd.''
and printed in Taiwan.  They appear to give it a model number of
uso1pci.

Jameco's part number is 171660 and product number is JE2267.

1. 8-port AST Serial Cards?

G'day,

        could someone please indicate to me if an 8-port serial sharing a
single IRQ (and of course 8 different I/O addresses), would linux be able to
handle it? This card is not intelligent. Simular to that of a 4-port AST
card except know has 8-ports!
        I have looked at the kernel, it doesn't make mention of being able to handle
8-port AST, just 4-port, but I'm being to suspect that it could!

What I need know is, will linux's kernel (serial stack) handle this 8-port
beasty AST card????

Thanks in advance,

        Peter Dean.
