Serial

Does the "stealth" serial port for blue-G3 work with Linux ?

it's been a long time since i've gotten a chrp image to work, but the
current sources can't do it:

main.c: In function `chrpboot':
main.c:43: conflicting types for `_start'
main.c:29: previous declaration of `_start'

is it an unfortunate name collision, or is one of these right and one
wrong?

 extern char _start[], _end[];
   ...
 extern char _start;

I use them in my old iMac, new iMac (rev. D), iMac DV, and in my G4
server.  If the blue-G3 uses the same kind of modem as any of these,
and if the Stealth folks claim it will work in the G3, I would suspect
it works fine.  There is a challenge with the iMac DV, because they
don't make a card specifically for that machine.  I used a G4 version,
removed the header pins and soldered the cable directly to the board.
Tight fit, but it works.

I confirm, it works on the B&W G3, it's plugged on the good old SCCs of
the mac-io "coffee-machine"
