TC(4) BSD 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 TURBOchannel 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.

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

EISA(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual EISA(4)NAME
eisa -- Introduction to EISA bus machine-independent drivers and support
SYNOPSIS
options EISAVERBOSE
Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and EISA bus interface of your system. Typical EISA buses are either connected directly to
the main system bus, or via an PCI to EISA bridge. See the intro(4) documentation for your system for details.
DESCRIPTION
NetBSD includes a machine-independent EISA bus subsystem and several machine-independent EISA device drivers.
Your system may support additional EISA devices. Drivers for EISA devices not listed here are machine-dependent. Consult your system's
intro(4) for additional information.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
NetBSD includes machine-independent EISA drivers, sorted by device type and driver name:
Disk and tape controllers
cac Compaq array controllers.
mlx Mylex DAC960 and DEC SWXCR RAID controllers.
SCSI interfaces
ahb Adaptec 174x SCSI interfaces.
ahc Adaptec AIC 7770, 274x, and 284x SCSI interfaces.
bha BusLogic BT-74x SCSI interfaces.
dpt DPT SmartCache/SmartRAID III and IV SCSI interfaces.
uha Ultrastor 24f SCSI interfaces.
Network interfaces
ep 3Com 3c579 and 3c592 10Mbit Ethernet, and 3c597 10/100Mbit Ethernet interfaces.
fea Digital DEFEA FDDI interfaces.
le Digital DE422 Ethernet interfaces.
tlp Digital DE425 Ethernet interfaces.
Note that most or all EISA devices also have PCI or ISA equivalents. These are listed in pci(4), isa(4), or isapnp(4), respectively. The
manual pages for each individual driver also lists the supported bus variants.

The machine-independent EISA subsystem appeared in NetBSD 1.2.

Hi all,
Have two legacy DEC 3000 Model 800/800S AXP boxes and woud apart from learning how to set them up properly, I'd like to also increase the amount of RAM on both (or at least one) of the servers.
Currently I've moved all the RAM from the second box into the primary box which now holds a... (2 Replies)
Hi all,
Have two DEC Alpha 3000 systems (I think they're considered legacy servers) that I acquired from my former employer prior to the Voluntary Administrator seizing the assets.
They both have the basic SCO V4.0f OS installed and too be honest, I've had little time to even turn them on. ... (2 Replies)
Hi All,
Is there a commercially available version of Linux which will run on a DEC/Digital/HP Alpha platform. Specifically a AlphaStation 200 4/166. I am currently running VMS 8.3 on the machine but the HP license conditions are encouraging me to change the OS.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello -
My first post here. I did some looking around; wasn't sure where to jump in or if something like this has been covered.
I have a DEC 2000 Alpha that was turned off probably 6 years ago once I had made the transition of programs and most files to the desktop PC. I have the idea... (4 Replies)
