The zs is a Zilog 8530 serial interface chip used in Sun workstations.
The Zilog 8530 provides two input/output channels per instance. Most Sun
workstations include two of these interfaces. One of the interfaces is
hardwired for use by the keyboard and mouse attached to the workstation
console. The zskbd devices connect keyboard devices to the generic key-
board driver wskbd. The remaining additional zs interfaces provide RS-423
and RS-232 serial ports for general purpose use.
The zs driver supports all of the standard tty(4) ioctl calls. The status
of the DTR, RTS, CTS, and DCD signals can be queried with TIOCMGET com-
mand, but, due to limitations in the hardware, only the DTR and RTS sig-
nals can be modified with TIOCMSET, TIOCMBIC, and TIOCMBIS ioctl(2) com-
mands.
The zskbd driver supports a number of different key mappings. By default,
the layout corresponding to the keyboard model as probed by the zskbd
driver will be used. A different layout can be chosen either with the
kernel options "SUNKBD_LAYOUT" (for type 4 keyboards) and
"SUNKBD5_LAYOUT" (for type 5 keyboards) at compile time or with the util-
ity wsconsctl(8) (variable: "keyboard.encoding" ) at runtime.
Other mappings can be used if the whole keymap is replaced by means of
wsconsctl(8). The built-in mappings are at this time:
KB_BE ( "be" ) Belgium French (type 4 only).
KB_DE ( "de" ) German.
KB_DK ( "dk" ) Danish.
KB_ES ( "es" ) Spanish.
KB_FR ( "fr" ) French (type 5 only).
KB_IT ( "it" ) Italian.
KB_JP ( "jp" ) Japanese (type 5 only).
KB_NL ( "nl" ) Dutch.
KB_NO ( "no" ) Norwegian.
KB_PT ( "pt" ) Portuguese.
KB_SF ( "sf" ) Swiss French.
KB_SG ( "sg" ) Swiss German.
KB_SV ( "sv" ) Swedish with "dead accents".
KB_UK ( "uk" ) British.
KB_US ( "us" ) English / US keyboard mapping.
The KB_SV mapping can be used in the KB_NODEAD ( ".nodead" ) variant.
This switches off the "dead accents".
To set a German keyboard layout, use wsconsctl -w keyboard.encoding=de.
To set it at kernel build time, add option SUNKBD_LAYOUT="KB_DE" to the
kernel configuration file for a type 4 keyboard, or option
SUNKBD5_LAYOUT="KB_DE" for a type 5 keyboard.

The zs driver first appeared in 4.4BSD. Support for the TIOCM* ioctl(2)s
appeared in OpenBSD 2.3.
The zs driver now supports cua minor devices, but with this known defi-
ciency in the simultaneous outgoing/incoming aspect of the driver: The
first outgoing connection succeeds, but second and subsequent connections
fail, apparently due to a getty hang. The hung getty apparently prevents
the cua device from being re-opened.
The kernel does not provide a keyboard layout for all manufactured Sun
keyboard models.
