The kernel configuration specifies these 70.Nm com 71devices as slave devices of the 72.Nm 73device, as shown in the synopsis. 74The 75.Tn port 76specification for the 77.Nm 78device is used to compute the base addresses for the 79.Nm com 80subdevices. 81.Sh FILES 82.Bl -tag -width Pa 83.It Pa /dev/tty0? 84.El 85.Sh SEE ALSO 86.Xr com 4 87.Sh HISTORY 88The 89.Nm 90driver was written by Charles Hannum, based on the 91.Nm ast 92driver. 93.Sh BUGS 94The 95.Nm 96driver is unlikely to work on non-EISA and non-PCI machines. The ISA 97bus only asserts 10 I/O address lines, and this is not enough. 98.Pp 99Even on EISA and PCI machines, some address conflicts have been observed. 100On one machine, the second port always conflicted with something (though 101it's not clear what) and caused strange results. Disabling the second 102port in the kernel config allowed the other three ports to function 103correctly. 104
