+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ioasic
+.Nd
+baseboard IO control ASIC for DEC TURBOchannel systems
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ioasic0 at tc? slot ? offset ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the DEC proprietary IOCTL ASIC found on
+DEC 3000 TURBOchannel machines.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+provides hardware DMA channels and interrupt support for several
+baseboard devices, including one
+.Nm asc
+SCSI device with a scatter/gather DMA channel, an mc146818-compatible
+.Nm mcclock ,
+an Am7930 audio device
+.Nm bba ,
+two
+.Nm zs
+dual-port serial devices, and a AMD 7990 LANCE
+.Nm le
+Ethernet interface.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+is also used for the audio/ISDN hardware on
+audio-equipped TURBOchannel Alphas,
+where the
+.Nm
+hardware provides a scatter-gather DMA channel between the 16-bit
+device and the 32-bit
+.Nm tc
+DMA address space.
+.Pp
+Support for scatter-gather DMA eliminates the need for additional copying.
