.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides TTY support for the two Zilog 8530 Dual UART chips found on
DEC 3000 systems.
On these systems, two of these serial interfaces are hardwired for use by the
keyboard and mouse.
Only the second interface of each
.Nm
controller can be used as a regular serial port.
On alpha TURBOchannel systems, the first channel of

.\" The remaining additional
The
.Nm zstty
interfaces provide RS-423
and RS-232 serial ports for general purpose use.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver supports all of the standard
.Xr tty 4
ioctl calls.
The status of the DTR, RTS, CTS, and DCD signals can be queried with
TIOCMGET command, but, due to limitations in the hardware,
only the DTR and RTS signals can be modified with TIOCMSET, TIOCMBIC,
and TIOCMBIS
.Xr ioctl 2
commands.
.Pp
Input and output for each line may set to any baud rate in the
range 50 to 38400.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It zs*: fifo overflow
.br
The on-chip
.Dq FIFO
has overflowed and incoming data has been lost.
This generally means the machine is not responding to
interrupts from the ZS chip fast enough, which can be
remedied only by using a lower baud rate.
.It zs*: ring overflow
.br
The software input
.Qq ring
has overflowed.
This usually means input flow-control is not configured correctly
.Pq i.e. incorrect cable wiring .
