Easy enough to add. Should be a separate device with its own pci id though. According to the linux source code there seem to be two common ways to implement this: A single, large pci bar where all uarts are mapped one after the other. Or one pci bar for each uart. Now I need to figure which is easier to handle for windows guests ... cheers, Gerd
