+.Sh NAME
+.Nm spif
+.Nd SPARC Serial/Parallel Interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "spif* at sbus? slot ? offset ? " Pq "sun4c/sun4m"
+.Cd "stty* at spif? " Pq "sun4c/sun4m"
+.Cd "sbpp* at spif? " Pq "sun4c/sun4m"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm spif
+driver provides support for the Sun Serial/Parallel Interface card
+based around the
+Cirrus Logic CD180 octal serial controller
+and the
+Cirrus Logic PPC2 parallel port controller.
+.Pp
+The device minor numbers for this driver are encoded as follows:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal
+ +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+ | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
+ +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+ | | | | | | | |
+ | | | | | +---+---+---> port number
+ | | | | |
+ | | | | +---------------> unused
+ | | | |
+ | | | +-------------------> dialout (on tty ports)
+ | | |
+ | | +-----------------------> unused
+ | |
+ +---+---------------------------> card number
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Up to four cards are supported in the system.
+.Pp
+Each of the serial ports has an 8 byte FIFO for receive and transmit as
+well as automatic hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control.
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "spif%d: ccr timeout"
+A timeout occured while writing to one the registers.
+.It "stty%d-%d: fifo overflow"
+Incoming characters were discarded because the driver's interrupt
+routine could not read them fast enough from the card.
+.It "stty%d-%d: ring overflow"
+Incoming characters were discarded because the application
+in control of the device did not read its input fast enough.

+.Sh AUTHORS
+The driver was written by Jason Wright <jason@thought.net>, and is
+heavily based on the
+.Xr magma 4
+driver written by Iain Hibbert <plunky@skate.demon.co.uk>.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm spif
+driver was first supported in
+.Ox 2.5 .
+.Sh TODO
+The parallel port is not supported yet.
+.Pp
+Dialout (cua) devices are not yet supported.
