There might be A UART on the mainboard, and I do have a USB serial TTL cable from when i was building z80 computers. I will look into it later, I had to pack things away so don't have space to have them out (the computers) at present. te> Once GRUB has started handing off to your OS, I'd think that further te> problems would be software. Yeah, on the second computer grub handed off to my OS, but it was just a black screen - not sure why but I am sure the serial port would give info on that (the console outputs to serial as well in my OS) that computer does have a serial port, but i don't have a null modem cable (at present) so i might give that a go at some point. I'm going away for a week tomorrow, going to investigate USB stack and porting to x86_64 - both seem like pretty monumental tasks to me lol, so which ever one looks the easiest I will have a crack at first. te> Hey, that's all pretty cool! Dunno about the VirtualBox stuff, but good te> luck and have fun playing around with it! Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it.. I discovered some errors in it earlier this year and it's been running so much better since I fixed them, and I've been suprised at how well the networking has been going (I had a webserver on it for weeks, and with all the portscanners and such, it didn't crash at all) Anyway, I will have fun, oh I used your pointer vectors in it too that you contributed to magicka bbs - I hope that's ok..
