Sorry. I'm still trying to figure out just what really belongs to each one.

Sorry again. I can't believe I left that basic detail out of my original
message. It is the DigiBoard PC/8e 64k.

Good pointer. I didn't think I saw any error messages, but after looking in
/var/log, this is what I found.

Might this be my problem?
There are two references in my copy of LINT which refer to dgb. They are:
# dgb: Digiboard PC/Xi and PC/Xe series driver (ALPHA QUALITY!)
and
device dgb0 at isa? port 0x220 iomem 0xfc0000 iosiz ? tty
I have to admit, I took my code straight out of the handbook, at heading
"10.3.3.2.1. Digi International (DigiBoard) PC/8," without really
understanding what it meant. Some of what Greg Lehey said in his book (pg
205 about the sio addressing) made it sound reasonable, so I just went with it.
Is that where I went astray?
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
