A hardware 98device may be supported with a character or block 99.Em device driver , 100or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a 101.Em network interface driver . 102Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file 103system of a special type; see 104.Xr mknod 8 . 105Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess 106communication facilities provided by the system; see 107.Xr socket 2 . 108.Pp 109A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time 110and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled 111into the system. When the resultant system is booted, the 112autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device 113and, if found, enable the software support for it. 114If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration 115time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. 116To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, 117the system will have to be rebooted. 118.Pp 119The autoconfiguration system is described in 120.Xr autoconf 4 . 121A list of the supported devices is given below. 122.Sh SEE ALSO 123.Xr autoconf 4 , 124.Xr intio 4 , 125.Xr mfp 4 , 126.Xr neptune 4 , 127.Xr vs 4 , 128.Xr config 8 129.Sh LIST OF DEVICES 130The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of 131the system. 132Devices are indicated by their functional interface. 133Not all supported devices are listed. 134.Bl -tag -width "okiadpcm" -compact -offset indent 135.It Em intio 136Internal I/O virtual device 137.It Em mfp 138MC68901 MFP (Multi-Function Peripheral) 139.It Em spc 140Sharp genuine MB89352 SCSI host adaptor 141.It Em mha 142MK-HA1 Mankai-Seisakusho Mach-2 SCSI host adaptor 143.It Em neptune 144Neptune-X Ethernet interface 145.It Em fdc 146Built-in floppy disk controller device 147.It Em fd 148Floppy disk device 149.It Em grf 150Built-in frame buffer 151.It Em kmem 152kernel virtual memory 153.It Em ite 154x68k Internal Terminal Emulator 155.It Em mem 156physical memory 157.It Em par 158Centronics printer interface 159.It Em com 160NS16450 serial interface 161.It Em zs 162Z8530 built-in serial interface 163.It Em kbd 164x68k Keyboard device 165.It Em ms 166x68k mouse / trackball 167.It Em bell 168The keyboard bell emulator 169.It Em pow 170The power switch 171.It Em vs 172MSM6258V built-in voice synthesizer 173.El 174.Sh HISTORY 175The 176.Tn x68k 177.Nm intro 178man page first appeared in 179.Nx 1.3 . 180
