.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm rtfps
|
|
driver provides support for IBM RT PC boards that multiplex together up to four
|
|
.Rn EIA
|
|
.Tn RS-232C
|
|
.Pf ( Tn CCITT
|
|
.Tn V.28 )
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn RS-422A
|
|
communications interfaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device is the master device for up to four
|
|
.Nm com
|
|
devices. The kernel configuration specifies these
|
|
.Nm com
|
|
devices as slave devices of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device, as shown in the synopsis.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn port
|
|
specification for the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device is used to compute the base addresses for the
|
|
.Nm com
|
|
subdevices.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by Charles Hannum, based on the
|
|
.Nm ast
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
