41.Sh NAME
42.Nm hsq
43.Nd multiplexing serial communications interface
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "hsq0 at isa? port 0x140 irq 10"
46.Cd "com* at hsq?"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver provides support for Hostess
51.Pq Lk https://www.comtrol.com/ "Comtrol Corporation"
52and compatible boards that multiplex together up to four
53.Tn EIA
54.Tn RS-232C
55.Pq Tn CCITT V.28
56communications interfaces.
57.Pp
58Each
59.Nm
60device is the master device for up to four
61.Nm com
62devices.
63The kernel configuration specifies these
64.Nm com
65devices as slave devices of the
66.Nm
67device, as shown in
68.Sx SYNOPSIS .
69The slave ID given for each
70.Nm com
71device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing register is
72tested to find interrupts for that device.
73The
74.Cd port
75specification for the
76.Nm
77device is used to compute the base addresses for the
78.Nm com
79subdevices (they are equal to port + ID * 8) and the port for
80the interrupt multiplexing register (it is equal to port + 7).
81More technical details on how the driver works can be found in
82the big comment at the beginning of the driver's source code.
83.Pp
84Information on setup of card's configuration switches should be taken
85from Comtrol Corporation's web site, since the author wrote and tested
86the driver only with Hostess-compatible cards.
