I have a rather old A310. Although it is fitted with most of the essentials of a fulfilling life (ARM3, 4MB, RISC-OS 3, VIDC Enhancer, IDE) the serial port has never worked. I now need to use the serial port for something. I understand the dud serial port on the early A310 is a "known problem" and can be fixed - can anybody tell me what this involves? (The problem is - single characters are handled correctly, but as soon as a stream is sent, it starts spouting garbage and tends to stay that way until reset. The problem occurs at all baud rates, and is worse on receiving than when sending)
