I once did it for controlling a video recorder and an optical disc
recorder (Sparc 10, SunOS 4.1.3). It was as easy as to do an
openu,1,'/dev/ttya'
writeu,1,data
Have you already tried this?

I've never tried it myself, and don't know if this will work for what you're
trying to do, but have you tried treating the port as if it were a file, e.g.
openr, unit, '/dev/ttya', /get_lun
