i have one of these and just checked my /dev directory. i have in it
tty ttyb
tty0 ttyp0
tty1 ...
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
ttya
sparc2 solaris2.7.
i have the paddle attached and actually have one of the serial ports,
tty1, and the parallel port connected at the moment.
the parallel port shows as /dev/printers/0, and is working as well, to
drive a printer.
these appeared as soon as i did a boot -r.
