+.Sh NAME
+.Nm puc
+.Nd PCI ``Universal'' Communications driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd device pci
+.Cd device puc
+.Cd device sio
+.Cd options PUC_FASTINTR
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This driver acts as a shim to connect pci serial ports to the
+.Xr sio 4
+driver.
+.Pp
+The list of supported devices is in
+.Em src/sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c.
+Support for new cards should be added there.
+.Pp
+If the PUC_FASTINTR option is used the driver will try to use fast interrupts.
+This should lower the interrupt latency and should be used if the
+.Xr sio 4
+driver reports
+.Em silo overflow
+errors.
+It cannot be used if the interrupt is shared.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr sio 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+This driver took the idea from the
+.Nx
+.Xr puc 4
+driver and still use the same structure to describe cards to ease exchanging
+card info.
+.Sh BUGS
+Only serial ports are supported through the
+.Xr sio 4
+driver at the moment.
+Someone should write support for parallel ports using the
+.Xr lpt 4
+driver.
