scc(4) driver still used?

I've been poking around serial drivers and documentation issues,
and I see that there is an scc(4) man page for pmax's Zilog 8530
serial ports, but -current has those drivers as zsc in the
configuration files.

Is there an "scc" driver for pmax any more?

It has been superseded by MI zs driver and children with wscons support.

scc was derived from 4.4BSD, and PMAXen have quirks in its wiring:
