    Subject: Info on MicroExplorer 

    I'm also interested if anyone has a patch to allow the uExp to use more than
    one serial port on the Mac II.

From a quick look at the source, it appears that on a microExplorer you
can specify an extra keyword to SYS:MAKE-SERIAL-STREAM, :PORT, which can
be either :A or :B for the two ports.  I don't actually have access to a
microExplorer, so I can't guarantee that it works.  The relevant file is
sys:serial;mx-serial-stream.lisp.

    Finally, does anyone have a set of manual change pages from release 6.0 to
    release 6.1?

I vaguely remember 6.1 as a patch release, plus CLX, CLUE, and CLIO (all
of which are documented elsewhere).  However, I don't really remember.
I don't believe I have any manual updates, and I haven't missed
anything.  (Of course, as an old lispm hacker, my inclination is always
to check the source first.)

Thanks for the lead, Paul. Alas, after making a stream for port a, upon trying
to make one for port b I get a "couldn't rd/wr/ctl/sts cause driver not
opened", TB:SIGNAL-USERR <- TB:!CONTROL <- TB:!SERRESET.

SO I guess there needs to be a driver which TI never got around to making.
Perhaps it's a toolbox hack that needs to be set up. I dunno.
