NAME

     pcppi -- PC (ISA) control port driver

SYNOPSIS

     pcppi*   at acpi?
     pcppi*   at isa?
     isabeep* at pcppi?
     (alpha only)
     sysbeep* at pcppi?
     (i386 only)
     spkr0    at pcppi?
     midi*    at pcppi?

DESCRIPTION

     The pcppi driver handles resource allocation and device attachment for the ports related to the ISA speaker in the traditional PC/AT
     ``design''.  These are the ``system control port'' (which was implemented by the 8255 ``PPI'' in the XT, hence the name of this driver) at IO
     address 0x61.

     When associated with an attimer(4) device, it is possible to change the pitch of the sounds emitted through pcppi.

     The pcppi driver provides its child devices with the ability to output simple tones through the PC speaker. The speaker(4) and midi(4)
     devices use this to synthesize sounds.  The isabeep(4) and sysbeep(4) devices are helpers which the pckbd(4) driver uses as a substitute for
     a ``keyboard beep'', because the PC keyboard hardware doesn't provide this.

NAME

     opl -- Yamaha OPL2 and OPL3 FM MIDI synthesizer driver

SYNOPSIS

     opl*  at cmpci? flags 1
     opl*  at eso?
     opl*  at ess?
     opl*  at fms?
     opl0  at isa? port 0x388
     opl*  at sb?
     opl*  at sv?
     opl*  at wss?
     opl*  at yds?
     opl*  at ym?
     midi* at opl?

DESCRIPTION

     The opl driver provides support for the Yamaha OPL2 (YM3812) and OPL3 (YMF262) chips.  The chips are FM synthesizers and are capable of pro-
     ducing a wide range of sounds.

     Access to the device is through the MIDI driver.

     The opl driver usually attaches to a sound card, but it can also sit directly on the ISA bus.

     If ``flags 1'' is specified, the opl driver handles left and right channels of OPL3 swapped.  Use this flag if your device has such problem.

SEE ALSO

     cmpci(4), eso(4), ess(4), fms(4), isa(4), midi(4), sb(4), sv(4), wss(4), yds(4), ym(4)

HISTORY

     The opl device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.4.

BUGS

     The OPL3 chip is operated in OPL2 mode despite being more capable.
