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.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver provides machine-independent support for the DEC TURBOchannel
46expansion bus found on all DEC 5000-series machines with MIPS and DEC
473000-series with Alpha processors.
48.Pp
49Your system may support additional
50.Tn TURBOchannel
51devices.  Drivers for
52.Tn TURBOchannel
53devices not listed here are machine-dependent.
54Consult your system's
55.Xr intro 4
56for additional information.
