+Magma Sp Serial/Parallel board device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "magma* at sbus? slot ? offset ?"
+.Cd "mtty* at magma?"
+.Cd "mbpp* at magma?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides an interface to Magma LC2+1Sp, 2+1Sp, 4+1Sp, 8+2Sp,
+4Sp, 8Sp, 12Sp, 16Sp, 1P and 2P boards.
+These boards are based around the Cirrus Logic CD1400 serial/parallel
+communications engine and the Cirrus Logic CD1190 parallel
+communications engine.
+.Pp
+The device minor numbers for this driver are encoded as follows:

+ | | +-----------------------> unused
+ | |
+ +---+---------------------------> card number
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Up to four cards are supported in the system.
+.Pp
+All tty ports have full automatic hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control available
+and a 12 byte FIFO on the chip in each direction so errors should be minimal.

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "mtty%d%x: ring buffer overflow"
+Incoming characters have been discarded due to a buffer overflow.
+This is caused by the process in control of the device not reading
+characters fast enough.
+.Pp
+If need be you can make the ring buffer bigger by changing the
+.Dv MAGMA_RBUF_SIZE
+#define to something bigger, but it should be a multiple
+of two.
+.It "mtty%d%x: fifo overflow"
+Incoming characters have been discarded due to a CD1400 channel overrun.
+This is caused by interrupts not being serviced sufficiently quickly
+to prevent the 12 byte receive FIFO on a serial channel from overflowing.
+.Pp
+Reducing the value of either the
+.Dv MTTY_RX_FIFO_THRESHOLD
+or
+.Dv MTTY_RX_DTR_THRESHOLD
+#define's to something smaller may help slow machines avoid this problem.

+.Xr read 2 ,
+.Xr termios 4 ,
+.Xr tty 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The driver was loosely based upon the
+.Xr cy 4
+Cyclades Cyclom device driver written
+by Andrew Herbert and Timo Rossi.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The driver was written by
+.An Iain Hibbert .
+.Sh TO DO
+CD1190 parallel support.
+.Pp
+.Qq bpp
+input.
+.Pp
+Dial-out (cua) devices are not yet supported.
+.Pp
+.Qq mdmbuf
+is unsupported (see
+.Xr tty 4
+and
+.Xr termios 4 ) .
+.Pp
+Automatic XON/XOFF handshaking could be implemented fairly easily.
+.Pp
+It would be good if the tty port waited for the FIFO to empty before allowing
+a close, so that I could turn off the channel interrupts at that time.
+It can be done.
