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

SYNOPSIS
     device spic

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", "d", respectively.  From
     that a program reading the Jogdial can decide what  to  do.   Some  actions
     might  include  scrolling, mimicking mouse buttons, launching applications,
     or other useful things.

HISTORY
     The spic device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.
