34.Sh NAME
35.Nm tc
36.Nd
37TurboChannel expansion bus driver
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Ss alpha
40.Cd "tc* at tcasic?"
41.Ss pmax
42.Cd "tc* at mainbus0"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46driver provides machine-independent support for the DEC TurboChannel
47expansion bus found on all DEC 5000-series machines with MIPS and DEC
483000-series with Alpha processors.
49.Pp
50Your system may support additional
51.Tn TurboChannel
52devices.  Drivers for
53.Tn TurboChannel
54devices not listed here are machine-dependent.
55Consult your system's
56.Xr intro 4
57for additional information.
