+	This is the README for RISCom/8 multi-port serial driver
+	(C) 1994-1996 D.Gorodchanin (begemot@bgm.rosrpint.net)
+	See file LICENSE for terms and conditions.

+
+Misc. notes for RISCom/8 serial driver, in no particule order :)
+
+1) This driver can support up to 4 boards at time.
+   Use string "riscom8=0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX" at LILO prompt, for
+   setting I/O base addresses for boards. If you compile driver
+   as module use insmod options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..."
+
+2) The driver partially supports famous 'setserial' program, you can use almost
+   any it option, exclude port & irq settings.
+
+3) There are some misc. defines at the beginning of riscom8.c, please read the 
+   comments and try to change some of them in case of problems.
+	
+4) I consider the current state of the driver as BETA.
+   If you REALLY think you found the bug, send me e-mail, I hope I'll
+   fix it. For any other problems please ask support@sdlcomm.com.
+
+5) SDL Communications WWW page is http://www.sdlcomm.com.
+
+6) You can use the script at the end of this file to create RISCom/8 devices.
+
+7) Minors number for 1-st board are 0-7, for second 8-15, etc.
