There are no IDE disks in this machine, an Adaptec 1510A ISA scsi card and
a 540mb connor. I've noticed that 2.0.36 has 4 receive errors of which 4
of them were dropped.
RX packets:8424 errors:4 dropped:4 overruns:0 frame:0
It could be a slight hardware/cabling problem which is exadurated by
2.1.129ac3 maybe? I'm running the port at 115200, however the UART type
is a 16550A which should be able to cope..
Dave.
