.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "spif* at sbus? slot ? offset ? " Pq "sun4c/sun4m"
.Cd "stty* at spif? " Pq "sun4c/sun4m"
.Cd "sbpp* at spif? " Pq "sun4c/sun4m"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm spif
driver provides support for the Sun Serial/Parallel Interface card
(Sun part number 501-1931)
based around the
Cirrus Logic CD180 octal serial controller
and the
Cirrus Logic PPC2 parallel port controller.
.Pp
The device minor numbers for this driver are encoded as follows:
.Bd -literal
