Hello from Gregg C Levine
I am building binaries for the Sega Dreamcast which uses an SH4 as its processor. I
normally send them via serial port to the console for testing. The binary program
that I use did work under Slack8.0, but when I upgraded, and jumped a version
release to 9.1 it stopped.

The same program rewritten slightly for Cygwin does work . Any suggestions as to
what magic I need to use to get the program to work? If needed I can supply the
name but it can be found on this website.

First things to check would be in /etc/rc.d. Make sure rc.serial is
executable (chmod +x rc.serial). Also look in rc.S to see if the line ".
/etc/rc.d/rc.serial" is commented or not.

Hello from Gregg C Levine
And thank you for your kind advice. I'll try that step.
Yes, and no. I am using my Slackware system to develop binaries for the
Dreamcast. I am build kernels, and busy box based file systems on the same
Slackware system. A fullport, while desirable, is not necessary for my needs. For
that matter, a group in Japan already ported a different distribution for theirs, while it
works, it is an ugly kludge. Besides, I still have to consider porting Slackware to run
on several other processors besides the SH4.
