M.R.Murphy stands accused of saying: > > A thing to watch out for is that the multi-16550 boards (I'm familiar > with Digiboard 8-port and HUB-6 with 16550) generate a LOT of heat. Good > cooling is required. Especially with more than one board in a system. This is highly dependant on the type of UART on the board. Older NMOS parts (16550AFN etc.) will generate quite a lot of heat, especially when they're busy. Newer parts (16C550, PC16550D) don't get anywhere near so hot. > Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
