BZZT. :-)
Get the latest version of the hp300 MAKEDEV (src/etc/etc.hp300/MAKEDEV,
revision 1.16), and note:
# Terminal multiplexors:
# dca* HP200/300 single port serial interface
# dcm* HP200/300 4 port serial mux interface
# apci* HP400 4 port serial mux interface
...
apci*)
# There exists only one Frodo ASIC per HP9000/400 SPU.
unit=${i#apci}
case $unit in
0)
for i in 0 1 2 3; do
rm -f ttya${i}; mknod ttya${i} c 31 ${i};
done
;;
*)
echo bad unit for apci in: $i
;;
esac
;;
So, if you "MAKEDEV apci0", it will create:
/dev/ttya0
/dev/ttya1
/dev/ttya2
/dev/ttya3
