NAME

     mca -- introduction to machine-independent MCA bus support and drivers

SYNOPSIS

     mca0 at mainbus?

     options MCAVERBOSE

     Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and MCA bus interface of your system. Typical MCA buses are connected directly to the main
     system bus.

DESCRIPTION

     NetBSD includes a machine-independent MCA bus subsystem and several machine-independent MCA device drivers.

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

   SCSI controllers
	   aha	    Adaptec AHA-1640 SCSI interface

NAME

     isapnp -- introduction to ISA Plug-and-Play support

SYNOPSIS

     isapnp0 at isa?

     An
     isapnp bus can be configured for each supported ISA bus.

DESCRIPTION

     NetBSD provides machine-independent bus support and drivers for ISA Plug-and-Play (isapnp) autoconfiguration of PnP-compatible devices on an
     ISA bus.

SUPPORTED DEVICES

     NetBSD includes machine-independent ISAPNP drivers, sorted by function and driver name:

   SCSI interfaces
	   aha	      Adaptec AHA-154[02] SCSI interfaces.

	   aic	      Adaptec AHA-1520B SCSI interfaces.

   Disk controllers
	   wdc	      Standard IDE and ATAPI drive controller.

   Serial and parallel interfaces
	   com	      8250/16450/16550-compatible ISA PnP serial cards and internal modems.

   Network interfaces
	   an	      Aironet 4500/4800 and Cisco 340 series 802.11 interfaces.

	   ep	      3Com 3c509B EtherLink III Ethernet interface.

	   le	      PCnet-PnP Ethernet interfaces based on the successor to the AMD LANCE chip.

	   ne	      NE2000-compatible Ethernet interfaces.

	   tr	      TROPIC based token ring interfaces.

   Sound cards
	   ess	      ESS Technology derived PnP sound cards and devices.

	   guspnp     Gravis Ultrasound PnP sound cards.

	   sb	      SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster 16, and SoundBlaster Pro sound cards.

	   wss	      Windows Sound System compatible cards, e.g., most of the cards with Crystal Semiconductor chips.

	   ym	      Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound cards.

   Miscellaneous devices
	   pcic       PCI PCMCIA controllers, including the Cirrus Logic GD6729.

     ISA Plug-and-Play devices also have alternate ISA drivers with static ISA IO address configuration.  These are listed in isa(4).  The isapnp
     bus ignores devices that have already been found and configured as isa(4) devices.  The isapnp bus is only effective on machines which lack a
     PnP BIOS, or  on which the PnP BIOS has been disabled.  The manual pages for each individual isapnp driver also list the supported front-ends
     for other buses.

HISTORY

     The isapnp driver appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
