28.Dt PUC 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm puc
32.Nd PCI
33.Dq Universal
34Communications driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "device pci"
37.Cd "device puc"
38.Cd "device sio"
39.Cd "device ppc"
40.Cd "options PUC_FASTINTR"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42This driver acts as a shim to connect PCI serial and parallel ports to the
43.Xr sio 4
44and
45.Xr ppc 4
46driver.
47.Pp
48The list of supported devices is in
49.Pa sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c .
50Support for new cards should be added there.
51.Pp
52If the
53.Dv PUC_FASTINTR
54option is used, the driver will try to use fast interrupts.
55This should lower the interrupt latency and should be used if the
56.Xr sio 4
57driver reports
58.Sy "silo overflow"
59errors.
60It cannot be used if the interrupt is shared.
61.Sh SEE ALSO
62.Xr ppc 4 ,
63.Xr sio 4
64.Sh HISTORY
65This driver took the idea from the
66.Nx
67.Xr puc 4
68driver and still uses the same structure to describe cards, to ease exchanging
69card info.
70.Sh BUGS
71Only serial ports are supported through the
72.Xr sio 4
73driver at the moment.
