Also, some OSes are more specific than the OpenFirmWare is. IIRC, I got my
IPX/IPCs to run with just three wires on the serial port, but
NetBSD/OpenBSD wanted all seven wires to communicate.

Been a while since I've tried using a Portmaster that way. I mastered it
once (10 ports on a PC, Whee!) and it made my life a lot easier, but that
was a job ago now.
