I consulted with a system note 'ULTRIX and UWS; AA-PYKCB-TE,' and learned
several things.
- 5100 backplane does not mention to how ports are numbered. The doco
has a clear figure.
- ULTRIX had the following rule for 5100;
chip# line#
/dev/console 0 0
/dev/tty00 0 1
/dev/tty01 0 2 DB25 w/ modem control
/dev/tty02 0 3
/dev/tty03 1 0
/dev/tty04 1 1
/dev/tty05 1 2 DB25 w/ modem control
/dev/tty06 1 3
/dev/tty07 2 0
/dev/tty07 2 1
/dev/tty07 2 2
/dev/tty07 2 3
To keep the rule or not would be another story.
