48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49.Nm
50interfaces the peripherals connected to it to the
51.Xr gio 4
52bus.
53.Nm
54is found on the Personal Iris 4D/3x, Indigo, Indy, Challenge-S, and Indigo2
55machines.
56.Pp
57There are three different numerical revisions of the
58.Nm
59controller.
60Revisions 1 and 1.5 exist on Personal Iris 4D/3x and Indigo machines,
61as well as GIO32bis expansion cards such as the E++ SEEQ-based
62Ethernet adapter.
63Revision 1.5 supports bi-endian operation.
64Revision 3 exists on Indy and Indigo2 systems.
65It is possible to have an on-board HPC3 as well as HPC1.5-based
66GIO32bis adapters in the Indy.
67.Pp
68The
69.Nm
70driver will attempt to detect the revision present, but since
71this is a heuristic exercise, flags exist to force the detected
72revision:

104.Sh HISTORY
105The
106.Nm
107driver first appeared in
108.Nx 1.6
109with support for Revision 3.
110Revision 1 and 1.5 support was added in
111.Nx 2.0 .
112.Sh BUGS
113.Nm
114Revisions 1 and 1.5 support DMA buffer pointers of only 28 bits
115and may therefore only address 256 megabytes of memory.
116The R4k Indigo and Indy are the only systems that support sufficient
117memory to illustrate this drawback.
118A software workaround is not currently implemented.
119Revision 3, with 32 bit pointers, does not have this limitation.
