+.Nm puc
+.Nd PCI
+.Dq universal
+communications card driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "puc* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Cd "com* at puc? port ?"
+.Cd "lpt* at puc? port ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI communications cards containing
+simple communications ports, such as NS16550-family
+.Pf ( Nm com )
+serial ports and standard PC-like
+.Pf ( Nm lpt )
+parallel ports.
+The driver is called
+.Dq universal
+because the interfaces to these devices aren't nearly as well
+defined and standard as they should be.
+.Pp
+The driver currently supports the following cards:

+The
+.Ar port
+locator is used to identify the port (starting from 0) on the
+communications card that a subdevice is supposed to attach to.
+Typically, the numbering of ports is explained in a card's
+hardware documentation, and the port numbers used by the driver
+are the same as (or one off from, e.g. the manual uses ports
+numbered starting from 1) those described in the documentation.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver appeared in
+.Nx 1.4 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Chris Demetriou .
+.Sh BUGS
+The current design of this driver keeps any
+.Nm com
+ports on these cards from easily being used as console.
+Of course, because boards with those are PCI boards, they also
+suffer from dynamic address assignment, which also means that they
+can't easily be used as console.
+.Pp
+Some of the cards supported by this driver have jumper-selectable
+.Nm com
+port clock multipliers, which are unsupported by this
+driver.
+Those can be easily accommodated with driver flags, or by
+using a properly scaled baud rate when talking to the card.
+.Pp
+Some of the cards supported by this driver, e.g. the VScom PCI-800,
+have software-selectable
+.Nm com
+port clock multipliers, which are unsupported by this driver.
+Those can be accommodated using internal driver flags, or by using
+a properly scaled baud rate when talking to the card.
+.Pp
+Some ports use an
+.Nm lpt
+driver other than the machine-independent driver.
+Those ports will not be able to use
+.Nm lpt
+ports attached to
+.Nm
+devices.
