Yes, I did it ! The only thing to do is to change your IRQ of the
3rd port from 4 to any free one, maybe 5 ! Edit your
/etc/conf/sdevice.d/asy file and add a line for this port and create
the necessary driver node !
It works great with my Terminal.....

It is very important to have different IRQ's for each port...
