All,
Many thanks to everyone who replied re. the max speed of the Sparc Classic
built in serial - all the information is greatly appreciated.
But... While searching for a solution, I managed to lay my hands on
an SBUS Sun 8-port serial + parallel card, which identifies itself to
the kernel as
SUNW,bpp for the parallel, and
SUNW,spif for the serial
It seems there isn't a NetBSD driver for this (although there is an OpenBSD
one apparently.)
So, more questions <grin>. Does anyone have a driver 'under construction'
for one of these beasties?
If not, I'd be happy to try writing one myself; I've never written a
driver for NetBSD or SBUS before, but I did used to do embedded software
engineering so it shouldn't be totally beyond me <grin>...
My other question is, therefore... Where is a good place to start
looking for information on how to write a NetBSD d/independent SBUS
driver...? Is the OpenBSD code worth looking at, or is the way they
do things totally different?
All help much appreciated!
Tim.
