43.Sh NAME
44.Nm boca
45.Nd multiplexing serial communications interface
46.Sh SYNOPSIS
47For 4-port BB1004 boards:
48.Pp
49.Cd "boca0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5"
50.Cd "com* at boca? slave ?"
51.Pp
52For 8-port BB1008 boards:
53.Pp
54.Cd "boca0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5"
55.Cd "com* at boca? slave ?"
56.Pp
57For 16-port BB2016 boards:
58.Pp
59.Cd "boca0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5"
60.Cd "boca1 at isa? port 0x140 irq 5"
61.Cd "com* at boca? slave ?"
62.Pp
63(The BB2016 is functionally equivalent to two BB1008 boards,
64and is configured as such.)
65.Sh DESCRIPTION
66The
67.Nm
68driver provides support for BOCA Research BB1004, BB1008, and BB2016
69boards that multiplex together up to four, eight, or sixteen
70.Tn EIA
71.Tn RS-232C
72.Pf ( Tn CCITT
73.Tn V.28 )
74communications interfaces.
75.Pp
76Each
77.Nm
78device is the master device for up to eight
79.Nm com
80devices.
81The kernel configuration specifies these
82.Nm com
83devices as slave devices of the
84.Nm
85device, as shown in the synopsis.
86The slave ID given for each
87.Nm com
88device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing register is
89tested to find interrupts for that device.
90The
91.Tn port
92specification for the
93.Nm
94device is used to compute the base addresses for the
95.Nm com
96subdevices and the port for the interrupt multiplexing register.

103.Sh HISTORY
104The
105.Nm
106driver was written by Charles Hannum, based on the
107.Nm ast
108driver and source code from David Muir Sharnoff.
109David wishes to acknowledge the assistance of Jason Venner in determining
110how to use the BOCA boards.
