-Parallel port chipset driver
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "controller ppc0 at isa? port? tty irq 7"
-.Pp
-For one or more PPBUS busses:
-.Cd "controller ppbus at ppc0"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Em ppc
-driver provides low level support to various parallel port chipsets for the
-.Xr ppbus 4
-system.
-.Pp
-During the probe phasis, ppc detects parallel port chipsets and initialize
-private data according to their operating mode: COMPATIBLE,
-NIBBLE, PS/2, EPP, ECP and other mixed modes. If a mode is provided at startup
-throw the flags variable of the boot interface, the operating mode of the
-chipset is forced according to 'flags' and its available modes.
-.Pp
-During attach phasis, ppc allocates a ppbus structure, initializes it and
-calls ppbus attach function.
-.Ss Supported flags
-.Bl -item -offset indent
-.It
-bits 0-4: chipset forced mode(s)
-.Bd -literal
-PPB_COMPATIBLE 0x0 /* Centronics compatible mode */
-PPB_NIBBLE 0x1 /* reverse 4 bit mode */
-PPB_PS2 0x2 /* PS/2 byte mode */
-PPB_EPP 0x4 /* EPP mode, 32 bit */
-PPB_ECP 0x8 /* ECP mode */
-.Ed

-And any mixed values.
-.It
-bit 5: EPP protocol (0 EPP 1.9, 1 EPP 1.7)
-.It
-bit 6: activate IRQ (1 IRQ disabled, 0 IRQ enabled)
-.El
-.Ss Supported chipsets
-Some parallel port chipsets are explicitly supported by ppc: detection and
-initialisation code has been written according to specs datasheets.
-.Bl -bullet -offset indent

-SMC-like chipsets with mixed modes (see
-.Xr ppbus 4 )
-.El
-.Ss Adding support to a new chipset
-You may want to add support for the newest chipset your last motherboard was
-sold with? For the ISA bus, just retrieve the specs of the chipset and
-write the corresponding
-.Fn ppc_mychipset_detect ""
-function.
-Then add an entry to the general purpose
-.Fn ppc_detect ""
-function.
-.Pp
-Your
-.Fn ppc_mychipset_detect ""
-function should ensure that: if the mode field of the
-.Va flags
-boot variable is not null, then the operating
-mode is forced to the given mode and no other mode is available and
-ppb->ppb_avm field contains the available modes of the chipset
