Speakup and PCI Express Serial Cards

[Glenn Ervin]

Has anyone ever gotten a serial synth to work via USB adapter?
I think that if it works for a USB to serial, it should work for a PC 
Express card to serial.
I think some cards work without drivers, and others need to have drivers 
installed.

I think that's the problem.  So far as I know, Speakup still doesn't
support serial ports that aren't built-in to the computer.  Since
computers generally don't come with serial ports anymore, that is a huge
problem.  Somehow, there needs to be a way to pass IRQ and port addresses
to the module so that such PCI serial cards can work.  I've never
encountered a PCI express serial card, so don't know if any special
support in the kernel is required, other than the obvious of having
support for PCI express in the first place.
