44.Sh NAME
45.Nm ioat
46.Nd
47multiplexing serial communications interface
48.Sh SYNOPSIS
49.Pp
50For 6-port BOCA IOAT66 board:
51.Pp
52.Cd "ioat0   at isa? port 0x220 irq 5
53.Cd "com2    at ioat? slave ?"
54.Cd "com3    at ioat? slave ?"
55.Cd "com4    at ioat? slave ?"
56.Cd "com5    at ioat? slave ?"
57.Cd "com6    at ioat? slave ?"
58.Cd "com7    at ioat? slave ?"
59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60The
61.Nm ioat
62driver provides support for BOCA Research IOAT66
63boards that multiplex together up to six
64.Tn EIA
65.Tn RS-232C
66.Pf ( Tn CCITT
67.Tn V.28 )
68communications interfaces.
69.Pp
70Each
71.Nm
72device is the master device for up to six
73.Nm com
74devices.  The kernel configuration specifies these
75.Nm com
76devices as slave devices of the
77.Nm
78device, as shown in the synopsis.  The slave ID given for each
79.Nm com
80device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing register is
81tested to find interrupts for that device.
82The
83.Tn port
84specification for the
85.Nm
86device is used to compute the base addresses for the
87.Nm com
88subdevices. The port for the interrupt multiplexing register is not
89programmable.
