Too bad for the *Dual* serial port. The bridgeboard will support only
COM1 :-(. I have plugged in a par/ser card as well and it works fine.

Sorry Sylvain, this little program does not exist. Should Commodore ever

custom chip as well, since the CPU ports for the serial port are not
passed to the Amiga :-(.

Hope this helps,
