48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49.Nm
50is a I/O interconnect bus mostly found in
51.Tn SPARC
52workstations and small to medium server class systems.
53It supports both on-board peripherals and extension boards.
54The
55.Nm
56specifications define the bus protocol as well as the electrical and
57mechanical properties of the extension slots.
