.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver controls a
|
|
.Tn DL11 Ns -compatible
|
|
asynchronous serial card, and probably things compatible with it. A
|
|
four-port
|
|
.Tn DLV11-J
|
|
will appear four times in the device list, as the ports look like
|
|
separate cards to the driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides the normal interface described in
|
|
.Xr tty 4 ,
|
|
but many of the configuration calls are unsupported, since their
|
|
functions are handled by jumpers or switches on the serial card
|
|
itself. Calls related to modem-control lines are also ignored, since
|
|
these cards lack them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There's a chance this driver might also work with an
|
|
.Tn LP11 ,
|
|
an
|
|
.Tn LPV11
|
|
or even a
|
|
.Tn PC11 ,
|
|
but it hasn't been tested.

The character in the recieve buffer wasn't read before the next

character arrived, and has been lost.

.It dl%d: stray rx interrupt.
|
|
The driver was called to service a receive interrupt, but there was
|

nothing for it to read.

|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written for
|
|
.Nx 1.3 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHOR

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn DL11
|
|
and friends only have single-character receive and transmit buffers,
|
|
so an interrupt is generated for every character received or
|
|
transmitted. Attempting to receive data at even moderately high rates
|
|
will cause rx overruns. Fast transmission seems to be fine though.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is no support in the driver for the paper-tape reader on an
|
|
.Tn LT33
|
|
attached via a
|
|
.Tn DLV11-KA
|
|
or similar.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The overrun message is logged in the interrupt routine itself, which
|
|
will probably just make the problem worse.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The CSR printed on startup is that of the receiver, while the
|
|
interrupt vector is that of the transmitter.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order to determine the card's interrupt vector, the driver sends a
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
to each port. This may confuse things attached to them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The driver has so far only been tested on a
|
|
.Tn DLV11-J .
|
|
It may or may not work on the other cards it claims to support.
