Hi all,

Let me know your opinions of this. I hear my new code works, but
has the side effect ofmaking the disk run (or at least the light
on every interrupt/packet coming in on the port, not bad coonsidering
I couldn't test it. ) Dan and I are working on this. So far I've had
3 yes's and 1 no. (although that was a very strong no, coming from
an author.) Actually, since I am a biased party, *post* your opinions.

This is something that will come up again and again if we don't nip
it now.

P.S. Ack, forgot to mention that this was in reference to the serial
driver.
