<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">puc</code> driver provides support for PCI
communications cards containing simple communications ports, such as
NS16550-family (<code class="Nm">com</code>) serial ports and standard
PC-like (<code class="Nm">lpt</code>) parallel ports. The driver is called
“universal” because the interfaces to these devices aren't
nearly as well defined and standard as they should be.</p>

<p class="Pp">The current design of this driver keeps any
<code class="Nm">com</code> 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.</p>
<p class="Pp">Some of the cards supported by this driver have jumper-selectable
<code class="Nm">com</code> 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.</p>
<p class="Pp">Some of the cards supported by this driver, e.g. the VScom
PCI-800, have software-selectable <code class="Nm">com</code> 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.</p>
<p class="Pp">Some ports use an <code class="Nm">lpt</code> driver other than
the machine-independent driver. Those ports will not be able to use
<code class="Nm">lpt</code> ports attached to <code class="Nm">puc</code>
devices.</p>
