[parisc-linux] Serial PDC console on 712/601

[Christoph Plattner]

Very intersting the method of using the ISL commands to switch
over. And I think I also can switch back using this method.
Is this correct ?

But what is this "dagger" card.
Where does the machine store the information ?
Flash/EEPROM/battery backuped SRAM ?
Can I do a "backup" copy (I have an universial chip programmer
at home, and other tools !) ?
Can I make such a "dagger" card (whatever it is ?

Please give me some hints, before I "risk" the change !

With friendly regards
	Christoph Plattner
