I've put this driver on my web page at :

But, my original comments ommitted the fact that there is a data in
pin, as well as a data out pin. The code itself is fine, and reflects
this.
The correct pin allocations are :
port 0x278
bit 0, pin 2, Clock
bit 1

This is not an attempt to do anything "official", merely point out
that it's there so that anyone wanting to develop a driver for a serial
type chip (or use that chip) has the option of a driver to start

I had problems loading a variant of this kernel on a 386. The problems
are now more obvious, as I've tried to operate this kernel, compiled for
a 386, on my pentium pro.
In this case, the kernel starts up, but has no communication with the
screen. No messages are logged to the screen. However,

This was implied in my last email, but I thought I'd say it explicitly :
I've had 2.0.36 and 2.2.15 kernels boot properly on the netstation -
is it possible for whatever 386 stuff included in these kernels to
become lost on the 2.2.4 kernel I've been using ?

I'm trying to get a linux-2.4.0-test9-pre7 kernel with riel's recent
memory swap patch going on a 386 - swapping problems with the 2.2.15
kernel I was using prompted this.
I'm trying to make it run on a bull netstation, which means using bootp
and etherboot tagged kernels.
