and here is the patch. Submit it please. Thank you!
BTW, there is a new option "NDGBPORTS". By default it is equal to
NDGB*16 and means the number of ports of all Digiboards for which the
tty structures are reserved. It can be set to the real value in config-file
like:
options "NDGBPORTS=8"

scheduled for demolition. This is a first step: get rid of if_zereg.h,
by adding the five extra definitions to if_edreg.h.
Also add some definitions which will become needed when if_ze.c gets
replaced entirely by pccard and if_ed.c. (this is a 2.1.0 candidate)
with the driver's stability now. I've not had a single problem with it for
weeks.. All that remains is a bit of performance tuning, and finishing
the manpages.
Add prototypes. Use static for function definitions to match existing
prototypes. Otherwise leave functions that should be static as extern.
TODO: declare everthing except sidriver and siintr as static. I use
some new cdevs registration functions to do this for syscons and pcvt.
Fix siintr() to match its prototype in ioconf.c (don't return anything).
This may break the eisa support, but Julian says that eisa interrupts
never worked anyway.
(EISA support was never tested anyway - Peter)

the first one in the config has priority. They can be switched using
userconfig().
i386/i386/conf.c:
Initialize the shared syscons/pcvt cdevsw entry to `nx'.
Add cdevsw registration functions.
Use devsw functions of the correct type if they exist.
i386/i386/cons.c:
Add renamed syscons entry points to constab.
i386/i386/cons.h:
Declare the renamed syscons entry points.
i386/i386/machdep.c:
Repeat console initialization after userconfig() in case the current
console has become wrong. This depends on cn functions not wiring down
anything important.
sys/conf.h:
Declare new functions.
i386/isa/isa.[ch]:
Add a function to decide which display driver has priority. Should be
done better.
i386/isa/syscons.c:
Rename pccn* -> sccn*.
Initialize CRTC start address in case the previous driver has moved it.
i386/isa/syscons.c, i386/isa/pcvt/*
Initialize the bogusly shared variable Crtat dynamically in case the
stored value was changed by the previous driver.
Initialize cdevsw table from a template.
Don't grab the console if another display driver has priority.
i386/isa/syscons.h, i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h:
Don't externally declare now-static cdevsw functions.
i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h:
Set the sensitive hardware flag so that pcvt doesn't always have lower
priority than syscons. This also fixes the "stupid" detection of the
display after filling the display with text.
i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_out.c:
Don't be confused the off-screen cursor offset 0xffff set by syscons.
kern/subr_xxx.c:
Add enough nxio/nodev/null devsw functions of the correct type for syscons
and pcvt.
changes to allow devices that don't probe (e.g. /dev/mem)
to create devfs entries
this required giving 'configure' its own SYSINIT entry
so we could duck in just before it with a DEVFS init
and some device inits..
my devfs now looks like:
./misc
./misc/speaker
./misc/mem
./misc/kmem
./misc/null
./misc/zero
./misc/io
./misc/console
./misc/pcaudio
./misc/pcaudioctl
./disks
./disks/rfloppy
./disks/rfloppy/fd0.1440
./disks/rfloppy/fd1.1200
./disks/floppy
./disks/floppy/fd0.1440
./disks/floppy/fd1.1200
also some sligt cleanups.. DEVFS needs a lot of work
but I'm getting back to it..
This is still very green, but I have managed to get my modem working.
Lots of work still to do, but now at least we can commit it. /phk

moved to the driver proper, so that <machine/si.h> can be #included by user
programs without needing to include stuff from /sys/i386/isa..
Various (now) redundant features removed, eg: the locks on IXANY and HWFLOW
as these are now done with the "initial" and "lock" termios devices.
Note that it still (for reasons unknown) appears to be masking data to
7-bit with ppp - hence the cleanup to support the debugging via 'sicontrol'
This was originally ported to BSDI by Andy Rutter <andy@acronym.co.uk>.
At the end of the day, this code has very little in common with Andy's
version, or the Specialix SYSV version. Essentially it has been gradually
and almost completely rewritten, with LOTS of advice and inspiration from
Bruce Evans. There are a couple of missing bits still, but they are minor.
The user-mode "sicontrol" program is in sad shape and will come in soon.
Transparent printing died a timely death.. Maybe later..
Jeremy Rolls @ Specialix (Development directory) has confirmed this is OK
to distribute, and Andy personally sent me his version that I started from.
Although this driver stood up to a nasty stress-test in this form, I am not
confident that there are no nasty bugs lurking.
People are welcome to try it, but dont go out and buy one just yet.. :-)
And *DONT* use it on a mission-critical machine... This is ALPHA QUALITY!
