55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56.Nm
57is a I/O interconnect bus mostly found in
58.Tn SPARC
59workstations and small to medium server class systems. It supports both
60on-board peripherals and extension boards. The
61.Nm
62specifications define the bus protocol as well as the electrical and
63mechanical properties of the extension slots.
