NAME

     wax -- GSC bus controller and I/O subsystem


SYNOPSIS

     wax* at mainbus0
     wax* at phantomas?
     gsc* at wax?


DESCRIPTION

     The wax GSC bus controller is a version of lasi(4) with limited function-
     ality and no additional devices on the crystal.  It is mainly used as a
     GSC bus controller for additional onboard devices (e.g. 2nd RS232 or HIL)
     and sometimes add-on cards (such as a TR-9000 card for the HP 9000/712
     models).
