Hi, A while back I reported that the rocketport (rocket.o) driver in mandrake 8.2/cooker (which is old) had problems with modern rocketport boards. (The latest drivers work fine. The earlier driver drops characters and does other funky things.)
Comtrol, the manufacturer, says that it works under RedHat and SuSE, but not under Mandrake because "Mandrake is not System V compatible". (Each time I requested more detail, I was told only that "Mandrake is not System V compatible". Go figure...) Oddly, RedHat, SuSE, and Mandrake use exactly the same driver version (1.14c), which diffs out *almost* identically. There is one typo in Mandrake's rocket_int.h. (There is an extraneous "*/" on a line.) I notice that as of Aug 14, this typo has been corrected. Was this just house cleaning? Or was it causing the problems? I'm very curious, but not in a position to test it as the hardware in question is now in a production machine. Thanks, Steve Bergman
