HI

are we saying you cannot talk either way to the ports.

FYI The pinouts changed for Onyx 2 and are no that same
as those on the Indigo 2 etc ..

Similar problem here. I have also played with serial code that works
when compiled under Irix 6.2 on an Indigo2 but doesn't work when
compiled on either an Onyx2 running 6.4, an or O2 running either 6.3 or
6.5.x.

My experience was with the Flock of Birds serial driver available from
Ascension Technology. It was very disturbing to compile this driver on a
customer's Indigo2 and have it work, but compile the same code on our
Onyx2 and O2 and have it not work.

Time constraints meant that I had to give up and concentrate on other
things but I would still like to resolve this.
