NAME

     rtfps -- multiplexing serial communications interface

SYNOPSIS

     rtfps0 at isa? port 0x1230 irq 10
     com2 at rtfps0 slave 0
     com3 at rtfps0 slave 1
     com4 at rtfps0 slave 2
     com5 at rtfps0 slave 3

DESCRIPTION

     The rtfps driver provides support for IBM RT PC boards that multiplex together up to four EIA RS-232C (CCITT V.28) or RS-422A communications
     interfaces.

     Each rtfps device is the master device for up to four com devices.  The kernel configuration specifies these com devices as slave devices of
     the rtfps device, as shown in the synopsis.  The port specification for the rtfps device is used to compute the base addresses for the com
     subdevices.

HISTORY

     The rtfps driver was written by Charles Hannum, based on the ast driver.

BUGS

     The rtfps 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.

     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.

TCOM(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   TCOM(4)

NAME

     tcom -- multiplexing serial communications interface

SYNOPSIS

     For 4-port TC-400 series boards:

     tcom0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5
     com2 at tcom? slave ?
     com3 at tcom? slave ?
     com4 at tcom? slave ?
     com5 at tcom? slave ?

     For 8-port TC-800 series boards:

     tcom0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5
     com2 at tcom? slave ?
     com3 at tcom? slave ?
     com4 at tcom? slave ?
     com5 at tcom? slave ?
     com6 at tcom? slave ?
     com7 at tcom? slave ?
     com8 at tcom? slave ?
     com9 at tcom? slave ?

DESCRIPTION

     The tcom driver provides support for the Byte Runner Technologies TC-400 and TC-800 series boards that multiplex together up to four or eight
     EIA RS-232C (CCITT V.28) communications interfaces.

     Each tcom device is the master device for up to eight com devices.  The kernel configuration specifies these com devices as slave devices of
     the tcom device, as shown in the synopsis.  The slave ID given for each com device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing regis-
     ter is tested to find interrupts for that device.	The port specification for the tcom device is used to compute the base addresses for the
     com subdevices and the port for the interrupt multiplexing register.

     Not all possible configuration options are currently supported (for example, speeds beyond 115200 baud are not currently supported).
