ttyC* is com-port ("su", not "zs") on sparc. Admittedly, it's only
present on JavaStations (/obio/su or /pci/ebus/su) and Tadpole
(/obio/su) and then as Matt Thomas said in
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2000/09/04/0004.html
... it doesn't work right. I've never figured out why.
so there should be no upgrade problems ;-)
PS: Where on the web can I get documentation for ns16*50? I
ruthlessly vivisected dev/ic/com.c and it sort of works on
JavaStation-1 now - it reverberates some previous output (fifo
problems I guess), but stock version would just start spewing a lot of
garbage into the port and is absolutely unusable (lev13 interrupts
rate around 60!).
