IOASIC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual IOASIC(4)NAME
ioasic -- baseboard IO control ASIC for DEC TURBOchannel systems
SYNOPSIS
ioasic0 at tc? slot ? offset ?
DESCRIPTION
The ioasic driver provides support for the DEC proprietary IOCTL ASIC found on all DEC TURBOchannel machines with MIPS (DECstation 5000
series, excluding the 5000/200) and Alpha (3000-series) processors. On these machines (including the 5000/200), all baseboard devices should
be configured as children of the ioasic device.
The ioasic provides hardware DMA channels and interrupt support for several baseboard devices, including one asc SCSI device with a scat-
ter/gather DMA channel, an mc146818-compatible mcclock, an Am7930 audio device bba, one or two scc two-port serial devices, and a AMD 7990
LANCE le Ethernet interface.
The ioasic is also used for the floppy-disc drive and audio/ISDN hardware on the Personal DECstation and audio-equipped TURBOchannel Alphas,
where the ioasic hardware provides a scatter-gather DMA channel between the 16-bit device and the 32-bit tc DMA address space.
Support for scatter-gather DMA eliminates the need for additional copying. A baseboard asc SCSI adaptor attached to an ioasic will give
slightly better performance than its tc counterpart.
SEE ALSO asc(4), bba(4), intro(4), le(4), mcclock(4), scc(4), tc(4)HISTORY
The ioasic driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.1, derived from DECstation boot-time configuration code in 4.4BSD.
BUGS
The DECstation 5000/200 does not actually have an IOASIC chip, but for consistency it must be configured as if it did.

tc -- TURBOchannel expansion bus driver
SYNOPSIS
alpha
tc* at tcasic?
pmax
tc* at mainbus0
DESCRIPTION
The tc driver provides machine-independent support for the DEC TURBOchannel expansion bus found on all DEC 5000-series machines with MIPS and
DEC 3000-series with Alpha processors.
Your system may support additional TURBOchannel devices. Drivers for TURBOchannel devices not listed here are machine-dependent. Consult
your system's intro(4) for additional information.
HARDWARE
NetBSD includes machine-independent TURBOchannel drivers, sorted by device type and driver name:
SCSI interfaces
asc PMAZ-A single-channel SCSI adapter
tcds PMAZ-DS, PMAZ-FS, PMAZB-AA and PMAZC-AA dual-channel SCSI adapters
Network interfaces
fta PMAF-F DEFTA FDDI controller
le LANCE Ethernet interface
Frame buffers
cfb PMAG-B CX colour unaccelerated 2-D framebuffer
mfb PMAG-A MX monochrome framebuffer
px PMAG-C PX accelerated graphics boards
pxg PMAG-D, PMAG-E and PMAG-F PXG accelerated graphics boards
sfb PMAGB-BA HX colour unaccelerated 2-D framebuffer

BUGS
The tc driver makes poor use of interrupt priority on the 5000/1xx series systems.

Hi all,
Have two DEC Alpha 3000 systems (I think they're considered legacy servers) that I acquired from my former employer prior to the Voluntary Administrator seizing the assets.
They both have the basic SCO V4.0f OS installed and too be honest, I've had little time to even turn them on. ... (2 Replies)

This is definitely a "stupid" question, but I can't think of anywhere else to ask it, so here goes. My knowledge of CPU history on big iron machines starts with the last DEC Alphas, a short stint with Sun servers, PA-RISC and Itanium, Intel 486s on the desktop before that, and Motorola 68000 CPUs...

Hi All,
Is there a commercially available version of Linux which will run on a DEC/Digital/HP Alpha platform. Specifically a AlphaStation 200 4/166. I am currently running VMS 8.3 on the machine but the HP license conditions are encouraging me to change the OS.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello -
My first post here. I did some looking around; wasn't sure where to jump in or if something like this has been covered.

Hi Friends,
My input file is like this
chr1 100 200
chr1 300 330
chr1 2000 2000
chr1 5000 5000
chr2 7790 7890
chr2 8000 8000
If the difference of third and second columns is zero, then subtract 500 from second column and add 500 to the third column.
So, my output would be

I'm converting decimal to integer with bc, and I'd like to assign the integer output from bc to a variable 'val'.
E.g. In the code below: If b is 5000.000, lines 6 and 8 will output:
5000
(5000.000+0.5)/1 | bc
I'd like val to take the value 5000 though, rather than 5000.000
