+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pcppi
+.Nd PC (ISA) control and timer port driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "pcppi* at isa?"
+.Cd "spkr0 at pcppi?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver handles resource allocation and device attachment for the
+ports related to the ISA speaker in the traditional PC/AT
+.Dq design .
+These are the
+.Dq system control port
+(which was implemented by the 8255
+.Dq PPI
+in the XT, hence the name of this driver)
+at I/O address 0x61 and the first 8253 timer at 0x40-0x43.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides its child devices with the ability to output simple
+tones through the PC speaker.
+The
+.Xr speaker 4
+device uses this to synthesize sounds.
+It also provides helper functions to the
+.Xr pckbd 4
+driver as a substitute for a
+.Dq keyboard beep ,
+because the PC keyboard hardware doesn't provide this.
