51 driver provides support for IBM RT PC boards that multiplex together up to four
58 communications interfaces.
62 device is the master device for up to four
64 devices. The kernel configuration specifies these
66 devices as slave devices of the
68 device, as shown in the synopsis.

85 driver was written by Charles Hannum, based on the
91 driver is unlikely to work on non-EISA and non-PCI machines. The ISA
92 bus only asserts 10 I/O address lines, and this is not enough.
94 Even on EISA and PCI machines, some address conflicts have been observed.
95 On one machine, the second port always conflicted with something (though
96 it's not clear what) and caused strange results. Disabling the second
97 port in the kernel config allowed the other three ports to function
