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