|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver handles resource allocation and device attachment for the
|
|
ports related to the ISA speaker in the traditional PC/AT
|
|
.Dq design .
|
|
These are the
|
|
.Dq system control port
|
|
(which was implemented by the 8255
|
|
.Dq PPI
|
|
in the XT, hence the name of this driver)
|
|
at IO address 0x61.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When associated with an
|
|
.Xr attimer 4
|
|
device, it is possible to change the pitch of the sounds emitted through
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides its child devices with the ability to output simple
|
|
tones through the PC speaker. The
|
|
.Xr speaker 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr midi 4
|
|
devices use this to synthesize sounds.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr isabeep 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr sysbeep 4
|
|
devices are helpers which the
|
|
.Xr pckbd 4
|
|
driver uses as a substitute for a
|
|
.Dq keyboard beep ,
|
|
because the PC keyboard hardware doesn't provide this.
