When in doubt, say "N".
-config SX
- tristate "Specialix SX (and SI) card support"
- depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (PCI || EISA || ISA) && BROKEN
- help
- This is a driver for the SX and SI multiport serial cards.
- Please read the file <file:Documentation/serial/sx.txt> for details.
-
- This driver can only be built as a module ( = code which can be
- inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
- The module will be called sx. If you want to do that, say M here.
-
-config RIO
- tristate "Specialix RIO system support"
- depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && BROKEN
- help
- This is a driver for the Specialix RIO, a smart serial card which
- drives an outboard box that can support up to 128 ports. Product
- information is at <http://www.perle.com/support/documentation.html#multiport>.
- There are both ISA and PCI versions.
-
-config RIO_OLDPCI
- bool "Support really old RIO/PCI cards"
- depends on RIO
- help
- Older RIO PCI cards need some initialization-time configuration to
- determine the IRQ and some control addresses. If you have a RIO and
- this doesn't seem to work, try setting this to Y.
-
config STALDRV
bool "Stallion multiport serial support"
depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
in this case. If you have never heard about all this, it's safe to
say N.
-config A2232
- tristate "Commodore A2232 serial support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL && ZORRO && BROKEN
- ---help---
- This option supports the 2232 7-port serial card shipped with the
- Amiga 2000 and other Zorro-bus machines, dating from 1989. At
- a max of 19,200 bps, the ports are served by a 6551 ACIA UART chip
- each, plus a 8520 CIA, and a master 6502 CPU and buffer as well. The
- ports were connected with 8 pin DIN connectors on the card bracket,
- for which 8 pin to DB25 adapters were supplied. The card also had
- jumpers internally to toggle various pinning configurations.
-
- This driver can be built as a module; but then "generic_serial"
- will also be built as a module. This has to be loaded before
- "ser_a2232". If you want to do this, answer M here.
