NAME

     wax -- GSC bus controller and I/O subsystem


SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

     The wax GSC bus controller is a version of hppa/lasi(4) with limited
     functionality 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).
