 There are two drivers that work with the different families of Stallion
 multiport serial boards. One is for the Stallion smart boards - that is
-EasyIO and EasyConnection 8/32, the other for the true Stallion intelligent
-multiport boards - EasyConnection 8/64, ONboard and Brumby.

 If you are using any of the Stallion intelligent multiport boards (Brumby,
-ONboard, EasyConnection 8/64) with Linux you will need to get the driver
-utility package. This package is available at most of the Linux archive
-sites (and on CD's that contain these archives). The file will be called
-stallion-X.X.X.tar.gz where X.X.X will be the version number. In particular
-this package contains the board embedded executable images that are
-required for these boards. It also contains the downloader program.
