NAME

     tc -- TURBOchannel expansion bus driver


SYNOPSIS

   alpha
     tc* at tcasic?

   pmax
     tc* at mainbus0

   vax
     tc0 at vsbus0


DESCRIPTION

     The tc driver provides machine-independent support for the DEC TURBOchan-
     nel expansion bus found on all DEC 5000-series machines with MIPS, DEC
     3000-series with Alpha processors and VAXstation 4000 machines with the
     optional TURBOchannel adaptor.

     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 NetBSD 1.1.


BUGS

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