Can you use the AT/PCI-FAST driver version 2.0 in a SCO 3.2.4.2 system?

Issue:
Can you use the AT/PCI-FAST driver version 2.0 in a SCO 3.2.4.2 system? If you can, how can it be done?

Solution:

It is possible to use the latest driver, which ships with the card itself, all though some minor changes are required (see below).

Installation

Follow a normal OS5 installation sequence.  It will fail whilst rebuilding
the kernel with an interrupt conflict with the RTC driver.
Edit /etc/conf/sdevice.d/comf and change the sixth entry on the line (first 0)
to the interrupt vector used for the first AT card.

Edit /etc/conf/pack.d/comf/space.c and add the following code fragment to the
end of the file.

 tty_modem_hangup(g)
 int g;
 {
  signal ( g, 1 );
 }
Restart the installation procedure.

 # mkdev comf -install

Follow the normal instructions of installation and the driver should install correctly.
