NAME
tc
- TURBOchannel expansion bus driver
SYNOPSIS
alpha
tc* at tcasic?
pmax
tc* at mainbus0
DESCRIPTION
The
tc
driver provides machine-independent support for the DEC TURBOchannel
expansion bus found on all DEC 5000-series machines with MIPS and DEC
3000-series with Alpha processors.
Your system may support additional
TURBOchannel
devices. Drivers for
TURBOchannel
devices not listed here are machine-dependent.
Consult your system's
intro(4)
for additional information.

HISTORY
The
tc
driver first appeared in
NetBSD1.1.
BUGS
The
tc
driver makes poor use of interrupt priority on the 5000/1xx series
systems.
