Greetings,

We're having trouble getting the serial port working on our ibm 600e
laptop.  We've hooked the port up to an oscilloscope and it's recognized
until plan 9 starts to boot.  Then, we get nothing out of the transmit
pin.

Any ideas?

Sam

Does your 600E have an infrared port?  We had to use the thinkpad
features editor to disable the infrared port before the serial port would
work on my 560.
