30.Sh NAME
31.Nm spif
32.Nd SBus (spiffy) Serial/Parallel Interface
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "spif* at sbus?"
35.Cd "stty* at spif?"
36.Cd "sbpp* at spif?"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40driver provides support for the Sun Serial/Parallel Interface card
41(Sun part number 501-1931)
42based around the
43Cirrus Logic CD180 octal serial controller
44and the
45Cirrus Logic PPC2 parallel port controller.
46.Pp
47The device minor numbers for this driver are encoded as follows:

62.Ed
63.Pp
64Up to four cards are supported in the system.
65.Pp
66Each of the serial ports has an 8 byte FIFO for receive and transmit as
67well as automatic hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control.

77.It "spif%d: ccr timeout"
78A timeout occurred while writing to one of the CD180 registers.
79.It "stty%d-%d: ring overflow"
80Incoming characters were discarded because the application
81in control of the device did not read the input fast enough.
