Summary: when a device or pseudo-device?
Keywords: coprocessor, devices
I have a co-processor board for an XT made by Definicon (see Byte
Sept 1985). This board has a National Semi 32032, MMU, FPU on it,
2meg RAM, and 2 serial ports. I would like to create a software
interface to this board and its 64K RAM window and two I/O ports.
The big goal is to put Mach 3.0 up there. The little (realistic)
goal is to get the serial porttalking.
Is this a device, or a pseudo-device? And for a pseudo-device,
what is the digit after the name in the ./conf directory? I added
"bpfilter" to my kernel. In conf/ALL it has a 3 after it; the other
files (.conf/SUN-LAMP) have a 4 aftwards. Are either numbers OK?
Discussion, please.
