has an 8255 chip. For multifunction boards, the main driver will
configure the 8255 subdevice automatically.
+This driver also works independently with ISA cards that directly
+map the 8255 registers to I/O ports, including cards with multiple
+8255 chips. To configure the driver for such a card, the option
+list should be a list of the I/O port bases for each of the 8255
+chips.

This driver supports AI, AO, DI and DO subdevices.
AI subdevice support cmd, insn and mode0-4 interface,
other subdevices support insn and mode0 interface.
-See the head of the source file adv_pci1710.c for configuration options.
For AI:
- If cmd->scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT (or trigger mode4) then trigger input
is TGIN (pin 46).
- If you use trigger mode4 (scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT&convert_src=TRIG_TIMER)
then this mode sometimes discards some samples. :-((
+Configuration options:
+ [0] - PCI bus of device (optional)
+ If bus/slot is not specified, the first available PCI
+ device will be used.
+ [1] - PCI slot of device (optional)
+
+If you have an external multiplexer, the third option in the option
+list should be used to indicate the number of channels in the
+multiplexer.

+Subdevice 3 pretends to be a digital input subdevice, but it always

+Driver: comedi_rt_timer.o
+Description: Command emulator using real-time tasks
+Authors: ds, fmhess
+Status: works
+
+This driver requires RTAI or RTLinux to work correctly. It doesn't
+actually drive hardware directly, but calls other drivers and uses
+a real-time task to emulate commands for drivers and devices that
+are incapable of native commands. Thus, you can get accurately
+timed I/O on any device.
+
+Since the timing is all done in software, sampling jitter is much
+higher than with a device that has an on-board timer, and maximum
+sample rate is much lower.

This card has 16 analog inputs multiplexed onto a 12 bit ADC. There
is a minimally useful onboard clock. The base frequency for the
clock is selected by jumpers, and the clock divider can be selected
a power of 10, from 1 to 10^7, of which only 3 or 4 are useful. In
addition, the clock does not seem to be very accurate.
-Also, the board does not have a fifo or do DMA, so timed mode
-is not supported.
