An FPU is not required as the 76default kernels include FP-emulation support. 77.It Hades 78A standard Hades with either an 040 or 060 processor and at least 8 Mb of RAM. 79.El 80.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT 81This section describes the hardware supported on the atari 82(atari-clone) platform. 83Software support for these devices comes in two forms. A hardware 84device may be supported with a character or block 85.Em device driver , 86or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a 87.Em network interface driver . 88Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file 89system of a special type; see 90.Xr mknod 8 . 91Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess 92communication facilities provided by the system; see 93.Xr socket 2 . 94.Pp 95A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time 96and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled 97into the system. When the resultant system is booted, the 98autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device 99and, if found, enable the software support for it. 100If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration 101time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. 102To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, 103the system must be rebooted. 104.Pp 105The autoconfiguration system is described in 106.Xr autoconf 4 . 107A list of the supported devices is given below. 108.Sh LIST OF DEVICES 109The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of 110the system. Devices are indicated by their functional interface. 111Not all supported devices are listed, not all devices exist on all models. 112.Pp 113Standard builtin devices: 114.Bl -tag -width ncrscsi -offset indent -compact 115.It clock 116System clock 117.It fd 118Floppy device as found on the Falcon/TT030 119.It grf 120The standard internal video as found on the Falcon and TT030. 121.It grfet 122The et4000-PCI video as found on the HADES 123.It hdfd 124Floppy device as found on the Hades (NEC 765 compatible) 125.It isa 126ISA I/O bus (Hades only) 127.It kbd 128Standard keyboard 129.It lpt 130Parallel port device interface 131.It mem 132Main memory interface 133.It ncrscsi 134Onboard 5380 SCSI-bus 135.It nvr 136Non-volatile RAM interface 137.It pci 138PCI I/O bus (Hades only). 139.It ser0 140Serial1 (when connector available). 141.It vme 142VME I/O bus 143.It wd 144IDE interface (not on TT030) 145.It zs0 146Serial2 and modem2 ports. 147.El 148.Sh SEE ALSO 149.Xr config 1 , 150.Xr autoconf 4 , 151.Xr netintro 4 152.Sh HISTORY 153The 154.Tn atari 155.Nm intro 156appeared in 157.Nx 1.3 . 158
