HSQ(4) BSD Programmer's Manual HSQ(4)NAMEhsq - multiplexing serial communications interface
SYNOPSIS
hsq0 at isa? port 0x140 irq 10
com* at hsq? slave ?
or
pccom* at hsq? slave ?
DESCRIPTION
The hsq driver provides support for Hostess (Comtrol Corporation,
www.comtrol.com) and compatible boards that multiplex together up to four
EIA RS-232C (CCITT V.28) communications interfaces.
Each hsq device is the master device for up to four com devices. The ker-
nel configuration specifies these com devices as slave devices of the hsq
device, as shown in SYNOPSIS. The slave ID given for each com device
determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing register is tested to
find interrupts for that device. The port specification for the hsq dev-
ice is used to compute the base addresses for the com subdevices (they
are equal to port + ID * 8) and the port for the interrupt multiplexing
register (it is equal to port + 7). More technical details on how the
driver works can be found in the big comment at the beginning of the
driver's source code.
Information on setup of card's configuration switches should be taken
from Comtrol Corporation's web site, since the author wrote and tested
the driver only with Hostess-compatible cards.
