DESCRIPTION

Arguments to MAKEDEV.omni are usually of the form device-name? where device-name is one of the supported devices listed in section 4 of the man pages and ‘?’ is a logical unit number (0-9). For information on how many Network Coprocessors are supported on a given machine type and configuration, refer to the Interphase NC READ_ME_FIRST or RMF document packaged with your product.
