I'm posting this for a friend who has an AT-bus Serial I/O card for which
I have written tty drivers for the various 386 UNIX's and (cough) SCO
Xenix. These are good old-fashioned "clist" device drivers using
"standard" line discplines.
I've not written a "streams" driver yet and the Sun 386i developer docs on
this are poor, especially regarding how the line disciplines are plugged
in. Sun says to "call Sun Consulting". My friend has a small company
and has already shelled out the bucks for the Sun 386i and I think I could
figure it out given accurate and complete documentation. Does good
documentation exist which contains enough information to port my "clist"
tty driver with line disciplines to a "streams" driver for the Sun 386i?
BTW: It's an intelligent I/O card using shared RAM fifos, but that's not
important right now.
