Isn't that the chip Sun used on most of their SPARCstations? If so,
I disagree in at least a few respects.
Yup, that's the one, and, that's why
it was a bad idea for Sun to use
it as a friggin' console port that will only every do 9600 8/N/1
async ever in its whole life. ;)
Har. The same chip is used for ttyb. And even ttya can have its
parameters changed.
Sure it can. But does anyone run their consoles at anything other
than 9600 8N1? Seriously?
(raise :hand)
We run the consoles of our kit @ 115200, because 9600 is just a pain in
the posterior. But those are current server machines ;-)
Kind regards,
Alex.
