TC(4)                   NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                  TC(4)


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 TURBOchan-
     nel 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.


HARDWARE

     NetBSD includes machine-independent TURBOchannel drivers, sorted by
     device type and driver name:

           tcds       PMAZ-DS, PMAZ-FS, PMAZB-AA and PMAZC-AA dual-channel
                      SCSI adapters

   Network interfaces

                      boards

HISTORY

     The tc driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.1.


BUGS

     The tc driver makes poor use of interrupt priority on the 5000/1xx series
     systems.
