clearer. The "informational message" almost looks like an instruction to
the user to change settings on the card....
It's cosmetic, but...

no ports are active, provided there are no polled ports and no
`LOSESOUTINTS' ports. Do a little more in the interrupt handler instead.
This is a little less efficient if there are are many active ports but
a little more efficient otherwise. Polled ports are ones with no irq
specified (as before). `LOSESOUTINTS' ports are ones with 0x08 set in
their config flags. Unless this flag is set, it will now take up to one
second to recover from lost output interrupts, if any. Some 8250s and
16450s lose output interrupts.
Improve output buffering: copy the clist buffer to 2 linear buffers if
necessary and possible instead of to 1. Handle an arbitrary queue of
buffers in the interrupt handler. Check for waking up sleepers after
copying characters out of the clist buffer instead of before.
Delay translation of TIOCM_DTR to MCR_DTR etc. so that the top level
routines are more machine independent.
Fix bogus device register in unused code.
Fix one such THING in code to match comment.
Sort IO_GSC* into numeric order and update comments about the gaps.
Sort common SCSI addresses into alphabetical order.
Remove bogus comments about com ports having i/o size 4.
Uniformize whitespace.
Uniformize case in hex digits.
This file is very incomplete. In particular, it doesn't mention any
network cards. This doesn't matter much for the base addresses, but
it means that the comments about which addresses are free are mostly
bogus. The i/o sizes are unreliable because of split address ranges
for many devices (VGA, wd). The i/o sizes are incomplete. In
particular, there are no sizes for SCSI controllers. The bt driver
still returns a truth value instead of a size.
the National Semiconductor InfoMover PCMCIA cards also. In tests on a
NE4100 on Jordan's laptop here, the ze driver works fine with that
card.

the 802.3 frames generated by the DC21040 (which does automatic padding
of less-than-minimum frames) and the frames generated by the 'ed'
driver, I've found that there is indeed a bug in the size of "ETHER_MIN_LEN"
as reported by several people, John Hay being the most recent. The driver
was actually setting the length to 6+6+2+50 (64 bytes), which when adding
in the CRC (which is automatically appended to the frame and not included
in the length), the minimum frame is 4 bytes larger than it is supposed to
be. All of this is confirmed by tcpdump showing 50 bytes of data for
minimum frames from the 'ed' cards and 46 bytes from 'de' cards. This
analysis has also revealed that there is garbage in the un-filled in
portion at the end of the minimum frames from the 'ed' driver; I don't
plan to fix this.
A phone call from Manfred quickly pointed up the fact that I got the conflict
check backwards. NOW we implement the conflict checking correctly! Wheesh!
to access it. setdelayed() actually ORs the bits in `idelayed' into
`ipending' and clears `idelayed'.
Call setdelayed() every (normal) clock tick to convert delayed
interrupts into pending ones.
Drivers can set bits in `idelayed' at any time to schedule an interrupt
at the next clock tick. This is more efficient than calling timeout().
Currently only software interrupts can be scheduled.
It closed the wrong device (usually the B partition instead of the C
partition).
It closed a device without having opened it.
It didn't open a device often enough. This caused swap partitions on
slices other than the first slice looked at to be unavailable for swapping.
It didn't check the device number sufficiently.
notice, performed all of the structural changes necessary to get this thing
to work with the unidirectional-DMA version of voxware.
This work is -not- complete, but it's in far better shape than it was, and
I may not touch it again for another few months.
The ``flags 1'' in the fdc line is now only needed for owners of an
Insight tape (perhaps there aren't any? Mine is disfunctional). All
other probes are safe wrt. to the motor-control line of floppy disk
drives. Document the flag in LINT finally.
