NAME

     cs80bus -- support for CS80/SS80 on the IEEE488 GPIB

SYNOPSIS

     cs80bus* at gpib?

DESCRIPTION

     The cs80bus driver supports devices on the IEEE488 GPIB which communicate using the CS80/SS80 protocol.  These device are primarily block
     devices such as tapes and disks drives commonly found on HP/Agilent equipment.

HISTORY

     The cs80bus driver appeared in NetBSD 2.0.

NAME

     pcii -- National Instruments PCIIA GPIB controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     device pcii

     In /boot/device.hints:
     hint.pcii.0.at="isa"
     hint.pcii.0.port="0x2e1"
     hint.pcii.0.irq="7"
     hint.pcii.0.drq="1"

DESCRIPTION

     The pcii driver provides support for driving an IEEE-488 bus, also called IEC-625 (or just "IEC bus"), or HP-IB (Hewlett Packard Instrument
     Bus), or GPIB (General Purpose Instrument Bus).  The driver supports National Instruments PCIIA cards (sometimes also refered to as PC2A) and
     compatibles.  These cards use a NEC uPD7210 controller IC as the main interface between the host computer and the instrument bus.

   IO memory space layout
     The PCIIA cards use a very specific IO memory space allocation layout.  The address bits A0 through A9 (which have traditionally been the
     only address bits evaluated on IBM PC XT extension cards) are hardwired to address 0x2e1.	Bits A10 through A12 are used by the uPD7210 reg-
     ister select lines.  This makes the individual 7210 registers being 0x400 bytes apart in the ISA bus address space.  Address bits A13 and A14
     are compared to a DIP switch setting on the card, allowing for up to 4 different cards being installed (at base addresses 0x2e1, 0x22e1,
     0x42e1, and 0x62e1, respectively).  A15 has been used to select an optional on-board time-of-day clock chip (MM58167A) on the original PCIIA
     rather than the uPD7210 (which is not implemented on later boards and clones).  Finally, the IO addresses 0x2f0 ... 0x2f7 are used for a
     special interrupt handling feature (re-enable interrupts so the IRQ can be shared), where actually only address 0x2f0 plus the actual IRQ
     level is required for each card.  Some clones do not appear to require this special IRQ handling, and are thus likely to not support the
     shared IRQ feature.

     Only the base address of the card needs to be specified in the ISA device hints; the driver takes care to derive all other IO addresses
     needed during the probe phase.

   Supported cards
     The following cards are known to be supported:

	   o   B&C Microsystems PC488A-0

	   o   National Instruments GPIB-PCII/PCIIA (in PCIIa mode)

	   o   Axiom AX5488
