34.Sh NAME
35.Nm tc
36.Nd TURBOchannel expansion bus driver
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Ss alpha
39.Cd "tc* at tcasic?"
40.Ss pmax
41.Cd "tc* at mainbus0"
42.Ss vax
43.Cd "tc0 at vsbus0"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Nm
47driver provides machine-independent support for the DEC TURBOchannel
48expansion bus found on all DEC 5000-series machines with MIPS, DEC
493000-series with Alpha processors and VAXstation 4000 machines with the
50optional TURBOchannel adaptor.
51.Pp
52Your system may support additional
53.Tn TURBOchannel
54devices.
55Drivers for
56.Tn TURBOchannel
57devices not listed here are machine-dependent.
58Consult your system's
59.Xr intro 4
60for additional information.
