There are a couple comedi drivers for 8255 based I/O boards. They
are all virtually identical:
adl_pci7296.c supports 3 ADLink board types
cb_pcidio.c supports 3 ComputerBoards (MeasurementComputing) board types
ni_pcidio.c supports 7 National Instruments board types
The ni_pcidio driver is a bit goofy since is also handles a couple
dio boards that are not 8255 based. It also has the mite stuff
which I still need to wrap my head around...
The support for these boards could all be merged into the
adl_pci7296 driver pretty easily. Should I do this? This would
completely remove the cb_pcidio driver and make the ni_pcidio
driver a lot cleaner.
That sounds reasonable to me, but I'm sure Ian would know best.
It's okay if you can think up a good name for the combined driver.
