I suppose you do not have to use it. I cannot be satisfied with the implementation for the use by the DECstation either, so I am going to revive the old code as soon as I upgrade my setup. ;-) Feel free to use the old version of arch/mips/dec/prom/console.c as a template. Don't fix what isn't broken... Maciej
