Introduction to EISA bus machine-independent drivers and
support
options EISAVERBOSE
Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and EISA bus
interface of your system. Typical EISA buses are either connected directly
to the main system bus, or via an PCI to EISA bridge. See the
intro(4) documentation for your
system for details.
NetBSD includes a machine-independent EISA bus subsystem
and several machine-independent EISA device drivers.
Your system may support additional EISA devices. Drivers for EISA
devices not listed here are machine-dependent. Consult your system's
intro(4) for additional
information.
NetBSD includes machine-independent EISA drivers, sorted
by device type and driver name:
- cac
- Compaq array controllers.
- mlx
- Mylex DAC960 and DEC SWXCR RAID controllers.
- ahb
- Adaptec 174x SCSI interfaces.
- ahc
- Adaptec AIC 7770, 274x, and 284x SCSI interfaces.
- bha
- BusLogic BT-74x SCSI interfaces.
- dpt
- DPT SmartCache/SmartRAID III and IV SCSI interfaces.
- uha
- Ultrastor 24f SCSI interfaces.
- ep
- 3Com 3c579 and 3c592 10Mbit Ethernet, and 3c597 10/100Mbit Ethernet
interfaces.
- fea
- Digital DEFEA FDDI interfaces.
- le
- Digital DE422 Ethernet interfaces.
- tlp
- Digital DE425 Ethernet interfaces.
Note that most or all EISA devices also have PCI or ISA
equivalents. These are listed in
pci(4),
isa(4), or
isapnp(4), respectively. The
manual pages for each individual driver also lists the supported bus
variants.
