91.Sh DESCRIPTION
92The
93.Nm boca
94driver provides support for BOCA Research BB1004, BB1008 and BB2016
95boards that multiplex together up to four, eight or sixteen
96.Tn EIA
97.Tn RS-232C
98.Pf ( Tn CCITT
99.Tn V.28 )
100communications interfaces.
101.Pp
102Each
103.Nm
104device is the master device for up to eight
105.Nm com
106devices.  The kernel configuration specifies these
107.Nm com
108devices as slave devices of the
109.Nm
110device, as shown in the synopsis.  The slave ID given for each
111.Nm com
112device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing register is
113tested to find interrupts for that device.
114The
115.Tn port
116specification for the
117.Nm
118device is used to compute the base addresses for the
119.Nm com
120subdevices and the port for the interrupt multiplexing register.

127.Sh HISTORY
128The
129.Nm
130driver was written by Charles Hannum, based on the
131.Nm ast
132driver and source code from David Muir Sharnoff.  David wishes to
133acknowledge the assistance of Jason Venner in determining how to use
134the BOCA boards.
