Do you know an old sio driver is hardly usable? There are many silo overflows, working with a terminal device is a nightmare. There was a report about one crash with a message about a spinlock holed more than 5 seconds (there is no core dump because it has not repeated). After a discussion in a Russian FIDO group I've change it on uart and the problems gone. I think a default driver should be changed from sio to uart until it will be fixed. -- Dixi. Sem.

It was very uncomfortable. It hangs for a few tens seconds after every a few minutes. -- Dixi. Sem.
YMMV and your message is content free. I use sio all the time as a console@115200 w/o any problems.
