Is there any way to use a Boca Serial/Par card under AIX 1.2 for the
PS/2? I have a model 80 running AIX 1.2 (at CSU 1009) with the Boca
card (2 ser., 1 par.). The card is recognized fine by the NVRAM and
by DOS, but when I run AIX "devices", it says all I have is s1, the
planar serial port.
Is there a way to make AIX see the card?
Thanks in advance.

New hardware generally means new device drivers, unless it 'looks' like something the system already knows about. I am not familiar with this particular card but I suspect that it will not work without a new driver to support it. I would suggest you talk to the vendor who supplied the hardware. There is also some sort of official list of supported hardware somewhere, although I haven't seen it, you might check if this card is on this list.
