Hi Warren,

I've found some code in the prom that seems to have two different
conflicting methods of calculating the baud rate LSB and MSB.  In
sm-serio.bsd/st16550.c the algorythm amounts to DIVISOR / (8 * baud
rate) and sm-serio.bsd/ns16550.c it amounts to DIVISOR / (16 * baud
rate).  So I'm not sure which one to believe.  The DIVISOR is the same
for both, so it's just the 8 or the sixteen that's different.

I don't know if I'm even looking in the right place.

Thanks,

a
