There's another variant i found of this:

	/* The Specialix board doens't/does't implement the RTS lines.

Note how doens was considered a typoed word - while the full typo was doens't. 

So the correct resolution would be:

	/* The Specialix board doesn't implement the RTS lines.

instead of the current:

	/* The Specialix board does't implement the RTS lines.

Thanks,

	Ingo
