R. Germany Lines: 17 In the README file for the FAS-Driver (it's supporting standard serial devices under 386-Unixes (ISC, for example)) the author stated that Interrupts can't be chained on standard PC/AT-Bus if no special hardware support is supplied on the boards ! Can anyone explain why this is true and how the hardware avoiding this problem should look like !
