+.Nm presto
+.Nd Prestoserve battery-backed memory
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd presto* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Tn Legato
+Prestoserve NVRAM cards
+used to be part of the
+.Dq NFS accelerator
+product, which used the cards memory as an NFS-dedicated cache, increasing
+performance of NFS servers exporting filesystem as NFS protocol, version 2.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver does not attempt to achieve such a behaviour, which is questionable
+with the advent of NFS protocol, version 3.
+.Pp
+Instead, it will provide direct access to the NVRAM, as a block device.
