Aaargh. Sorry for the blank. It's just that I had never gotten around to finding this function.
I'll submit the PCI IDs for two other supported cards later today.
Hmm. Lets do this right now.
VID DID SVID SDID base_baud name 1415 9501 11CB A004 115200 Speed4 11CB 9501 11CB A004 921600 Speed4+
1415 == OXFORD Semiconductor 9501 == OX16PCI954
Theodore, May I ask for a "name" field in your PCI-table? Then we can say something like "Detected an xxxx card". That make supporting such a card a lot easier: People get reassured that their card got detected.
Do you want a patch, or do you want to do it yourself? (Or do you dislike the idea so much that you say "not while I'm maintaining this"?)
The Speed4 card is equipped with line drivers capable of 115k2, not more. It would be best to disable (by default) the "clock multiplier modes" of the 16PCI954/16C950. Or at least warn that this exceeds specs for the card. (I'm pretty sure that you won't blow anything up, as the Xfree team is afraid about....)
The same goes for the Speed4+ card. It's line drivers are capable of 1Mbps. So again the clock multiplier modes are not really appropriate.
Do you want a patch, or do you want to do it yourself? (Or do you dislike the idea so much that you say "not while I'm maintaining this"?) (Where have I seen that before? ;-)
Roger.
