It will also break if you're accessing unit 0 on the multiserial card. serial.device, unit 0, is the internal Amiga port. newserial.device, unit 0, should be the new serial device's first port. Please, folks, don't try to hide your drivers in a new "serial.device". Use a new device name. People are going to have to adapt their programs to this environment anyway, so you might as well specify a new device name. Besides, it's easier for q. random hacker to patch a name in FooTalk than disassembling it to find out how they set up the open call. A new device name is better for the well behaved and the kludgemeisters alike. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' Hackercorp. ...texbell!sugar!peter, or peter@sugar.uu.net 'U`
