The kernel configuration specifies these +.Nm com +devices as slave devices of the +.Nm +device, as shown in the synopsis. +The +.Tn port +specification for the +.Nm +device is used to compute the base addresses for the +.Nm com +subdevices. +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width Pa +.It Pa /dev/tty0? +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr com 4 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +driver was written by Charles Hannum, based on the +.Nm ast +driver. +.Sh BUGS +The +.Nm +driver is unlikely to work on non-EISA and non-PCI machines. The ISA +bus only asserts 10 I/O address lines, and this is not enough. +.Pp +Even on EISA and PCI machines, some address conflicts have been observed. +On one machine, the second port always conflicted with something (though +it's not clear what) and caused strange results. Disabling the second +port in the kernel config allowed the other three ports to function +correctly. |
