-.Sh NAME
-.Nm pcii
-.Nd National Instruments PCIIA GPIB controller driver
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "device pcii"
-.Pp
-In
-.Pa /boot/device.hints :
-.Cd hint.pcii.0.at="isa"
-.Cd hint.pcii.0.port="0x2e1"
-.Cd hint.pcii.0.irq="7"
-.Cd hint.pcii.0.drq="1"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-driver provides support for driving an IEEE-488 bus, also called
-IEC-625 (or just "IEC bus"), or HP-IB (Hewlett Packard Instrument
-Bus), or GPIB (General Purpose Instrument Bus).
-The driver supports National Instruments PCIIA cards (sometimes
-also referred to as PC2A) and compatibles.
-These cards use a NEC \(mcPD7210 controller IC as the main
-interface between the host computer and the instrument bus.
-.Ss IO memory space layout
-The PCIIA cards use a very specific IO memory space allocation layout.
-The address bits A0 through A9 (which have traditionally been the only
-address bits evaluated on IBM PC XT extension cards) are hardwired to
-address 0x2e1.
-Bits A10 through A12 are used by the \(mcPD7210 register select lines.
-This makes the individual 7210 registers being 0x400 bytes apart in the
-ISA bus address space.
-Address bits A13 and A14 are compared to a DIP switch setting on the
-card, allowing for up to 4 different cards being installed (at base
-addresses 0x2e1, 0x22e1, 0x42e1, and 0x62e1, respectively).
-A15 has been used to select an optional on-board time-of-day clock
-chip (MM58167A) on the original PCIIA rather than the \(mcPD7210
-(which is not implemented on later boards and clones).
-Finally, the IO addresses 0x2f0 ... 0x2f7 are used for a
-.Em special interrupt handling feature
-(re-enable interrupts so the IRQ can be shared), where actually only
-address 0x2f0 plus the actual IRQ level is required for each card.
-Some clones do not appear to require this special IRQ handling, and
-are thus likely to not support the shared IRQ feature.
-.Pp
-Only the base address of the card needs to be specified in the ISA
-device hints; the driver takes care to derive all other IO addresses
-needed during the probe phase.
-.Ss Supported cards
-The following cards are known to be supported:
-.Bl -bullet -offset indent
-.It
-B&C Microsystems PC488A-0
-.It
-National Instruments GPIB-PCII/PCIIA (in PCIIa mode)
