+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pccom
+.Nd
+enhanced serial communications interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "pccom0 at isa? port" 0x3f8 irq 4
+.Cd "pccom1 at isa? port" 0x2f8 irq 3
+.Cd "pccom2 at isa? port" 0x3e8 irq 5
+.Cd "pccom3 at isa? port" 0x2e8 irq 9
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for NS8250-, NS16450-, and NS16550 compatible
+.Tn EIA
+.Tn RS-232C
+.Pf ( Tn CCITT
+.Tn V.28 )
+communications interfaces. The NS8250 and NS16450 have single character
+buffers, and the NS16550 has a 16 character buffer.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver is an enhanced version of the standard
+.Xr isa/com 4
+driver, and implements a large software buffer at the driver level
+to back up the small hardware buffers implemented by the standard serial
+interface devices.
+This can provide a substantial reduction in the number of "silo overflow"
+errors when using higher speed modems. The
+.Nm
+driver also includes some support for
+.Tn PCMCIA
+serial interfaces, multi-port serial cards and serial consoles.
+.Pp
+Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates;
+50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
+19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200, or any other baud rate which is a factor
+of 115200.

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It pccom%d: %d silo overflows
+The input

+has overflowed and incoming data has been lost.
+.It pccom%d: weird interrupt: iir=%x
+The device has generated an unexpected interrupt with the code listed.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver was derived from the original
+.Xr isa/com 4
+driver by Onno van der Linden. That driver was
+derived from the
+.Nm HP9000/300
+.Nm dca
+driver.
+.Sh NOTES
+The interrupt assignments above for pccom3 and pccom4 often conflict the
+defaults used for other devices such as network cards. If you plan to
+use these devices you must review your system configuration and the
+interrupt options available to select non-conflicting inteterrupt assignments.
+.Sh BUGS
+Data loss is possible on busy systems with unbuffered UARTs at high speed.
+.Pp
+The name of this driver is a holdover from
+.Nm DOS .
