Thats what I was asking about, I didn't think the tty layer was completed for that driver just yet.
Actually I may of missed the point here.. I can confirm that pc_serial isn't functional :)

I was fairly sure the tty for the standard pc serial was not yet implemented fully. Would be great if it was, theres a number of useful applications that depend on serial that could be ported/recreated for haiku that would draw some interest from the Automotive community. Megasquirt community being a good potential citizen from which to draw 
interest. OBD2 elm based interfaces etc.


I feel like we are going in circles here :)

usb_serial works.  usb_serial creates device nodes in /dev/ports/usb*
pc_serial doesn't work.

usb_serial == driver for USB -> serial port dongles.
pc_serial == driver for standard hard-wired serial ports.
