That's what I was thinking of, since it would be an easy way to prevent OS output from interfering with external devices (which has been asked for occasionally). > What happens if someone moves the console to the internal port and there > is not a terminal connected to it?

Ok, I'll revise my suggestion; it would be useful to be able to move the (bootloader/OS) console redirect to the other port. Less dangerous since comBIOS is still available on DE9, and a combination of fastboot and changing baudrate takes care of pretty much all opportunities for interference with the BIOS. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
