NAME
     spic -- Sony Programmable I/O Controller device driver

SYNOPSIS
     device spic

DEPRECATION NOTICE
     The spic driver will be removed in FreeBSD 12.0.

DESCRIPTION
     The  spic	driver allows using moused(8) to drive the Sony Vaio Jogdial de-
     vice found on several Sony Vaio models.  It works by mapping  the	forward,
     backwards,  up,  and  down  inputs to "l", "r", "u", and "d", respectively.
     From that a program reading the Jogdial can decide what to  do.   Some  ac-
     tions  might include scrolling, mimicking mouse buttons, launching applica-
     tions, or other useful things.

SEE ALSO
     moused(8)

HISTORY
     The spic device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.
