A newly-developed hardware driver will allow Haiku to access multiple serial ports via a PCI serial card. The new “pc_serial” driver was commissioned by TuneTracker Systems and is being donated to the Haiku user community. The driver, coded by François “mmu_man” Revol, is known to work well with the widely-available Manhattan brand of serial cards, and increases to three the number of serial ports available on the average system (including the built-in serial port found on many motherboards.)
