Re: Bloody serial ports!!!!

[Lee Causier <leecausier@xxxxxxxxx>]

Colinux ( http://www.colinux.org/ )
isn't an emulator, it's a "driver"
that lets any x86 linux kernel share the hardware with the windows
kernel so they run side-by-side. it's quite interesting and I'm pretty
sure you can access whatever hardware you like, but if windows is
using it too things will grind to a halt, hence the "if you could use
it on linux but you still need windows, disable the device in windows
so windows doesn't touch it and use it in linux" as a possible sol'n.

Cheers,

Lee Causier.
