Of course, the more correct approach is for someone to convert them to use the new serial driver core (and fix the driver core interface to allow them to work with it.)
Unfortunately I don't have the hardware for a lot of these specialist serial cards, so it's a job I've steared clear of. I've been hoping that leaving them broken will make the ones which are used stand out, and hopefully someone with the hardware would've picked them up and done the necessary conversion.
But alas no.
(I did my best to convert dz.c without the hardware, but it seems to have been lost into the depths of the MIPS tree... *hint*)
