I think all sio ports are isa, I have never seen a kernel config with
them listed as pci.
I just replaced the PCCOM8 card with a 2 serial pci NetMos NM9835 card
to see if I was going nuts.
I get the following:
puc0: <NetMos NM9835 Dual UART and 1284 Printer port> port
0x7080-0x708f,0x7060-0x7067,0x7048-0x704f,0x7030-0x7037,0x7018-0x7
01f,0x7000-0x7007 irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0
sio12: type 16550A
sio13: type 16550A
&
pciconf shows me the following:
puc0@pci0:15:0: class=0x070002 card=0x00021000 chip=0x98359710 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Netmos'
device = 'Nm9835 PCI + Dual UART and 1284 Printer Port'
class = simple comms
subclass = UART
I assume that this card is not supported by FreeBSD at this time as the
base kernel cannot identify the PCCOM8 card but can identify the NetMos
card and drive it.
Both of the cards are PCI and I have made no changes in the system to
get them working.
