FAS 2.08 problems...

I'm having a problem with FAS 2.08.  The problem I am having is
getting it to work with both my standard COM1 and COM2 ports and my
AST FourPort card.  I can use either one card or the other, but if I
have both of them in my system, there's a problem.

If I use my original AT I/O card, I get an unkillable process when I
try to do a cu to COM1.  I can not do a ~. to get out of cu.  Everything
works ok with my AST card both with cu and under VP/ix.

Under the I/O card that I've upgraded to (two serial, one parallel, IDE,
and an FDC), the system doesn't even get that far.  The system reboots
constantly.

Both I/O cards worked under FAS 2.07, only thing I could not do is
access the ports under VP/ix.  I can do that now, but I have to have
either the AST board or the I/O card in system, but not both.  I am
using the canned space.c which is named space-ast4c12 in the FAS 2.08
distribution.

Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks,
