Hi -

Thanks - this is helpful (I'm a novice at BIOS details). Here's what I 
see with

 > d 400
0000:0400  F8 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 9B

Looks like 0x03fe is correct for the first uart (/dev/ttyS0), but all 
zeros after that (starting at 0:402h). Looks like the BIOS isn't setting 
the second uart?

I'm using netBIOS 1.41c.

Thanks-
-Toby
