I find that a restriction on number hard to believe. The uart driver supports 16950s. I actually installed and tested an Oxford PCI card in one of my 4801s and was able to use them OK. I can’t find my documentation of that test. It was back in 2011. But IIRC…... Do your boot messages detect the hardware? You should see multiple «uartx » , 0 and 1 are the basic devices. Any others will be your PCI based ports. If they are seen, record the PORT and IRQ associated. In that case, go look at /boot/device.hints. See if you only uart.0 uart.1 then that may be your issue. Add entries for the others. ex. hint.uart.2.at="isa" hint.uart.2.disabled="1" hint.uart.2.port="0x3E8" hint.uart.2.irq="5" hint.uart.3.at="isa" hint.uart.3.disabled="1" hint.uart.3.port="0x2E8" hint.uart.3.irq="9" reboot Now, if you are lucky , when you look in /dev, you should see the tty and cua devices .
