Nubus/PDS (Processor Direct Slot) Devices Definitions

Note:  Because of the ability for the Nubus/PDS boards to provide many not only 
            new but duplicate services (such as additional serial ports, another SCSI
            Bus, etc.) there may be additional information here regarding the 
            capabilities of your machine that does not appear in other report
            categories.

         [Text] = Item only exists under given circumstance

General:
              Nubus and PDS boards communicate their purpose and functions through
            a declaration ROM mounted on the board.  If there is a declaration ROM, 
            the board can be reported on, otherwise the Slot Manager is unaware that
            a board is in the slot.  PDS slots are different from Nubus slots in many
            senses.  Other than the several different physical and electrical 
            specifications that PDS slots possess, PDS boards are somewhat less likely
            to have a declaration ROM than Nubus boards.  If a declaration ROM is
            present, either type board is reported by slot after the physical slot
            counts below.
                  Nubus/PDS slots come in two forms, physical and built-in.  An example
            of a built-in slot is the video connector provided on most newer machines.
            Physical slots are those into which a board can actually be inserted.

• Total Physical PDS Slots Present =  Total number of physical PDS slots
              in the machine
• Total Physical Nubus Slots Present = Total number of physical Nubus
              in the machine

                    ======================================== 

• Nubus/PDS Slot# = This represents the slot number in hex as seen by the Slot
              Manager.  Built-in slots range in number from $0-$E while physical slots
              range from $9-$E.  These numbers are machine type dependent.  Only
              physical slots with boards and built-in slots with connected devices are
              reported.  In certain cases, e.g. the LC, a built-in slot with no connected
              device may appear
   ◊ Pseudo Nubus Slot# = This number represents the physical location of the
              Nubus slot containing the board, counting from the closest parallel side of 
              the machine  [Nubus Slot]
   ◊ Board Name = Name of the board  [Present In Board ROM]
   ◊ Board ID = Identification number of the board as assigned by manufacturer 
              [Present In Board ROM]
   ◊ Vendor ID = Name of manufacturer [Present In Board ROM]
   ◊ Serial# = Board serial number [Present In Board ROM]
   ◊ Revision Level = Revision level of the board [Present In Board ROM]
   ◊ Part# = Part number assigned by the manufacturer [Present In Board ROM]
   ◊ Date = Date of manufacture or revision [Present In Board ROM]
   ◊ Functional Resources:  Following this heading is a listing of those functions
              which are currently available on the board.  Some boards, e.g. SCSI,
              may support more than one device or device type.  If you see a number
              next to Category or Type without a (name) next to it, please send us
              the numbers and any information which you may know regarding the
              function of the board.  This information will then be used to update the 
              category and type names
      + Device SResource Name = Name of function from board’s point of view 
         - Device Category = Category number and (category name) if known
         - Device Type = Device number and (type name) if known.  If it is a video
              device, more information is available under Monitors, referenced by the
              Nubus/PDS slot number
         - Device Software Interface Type = Format of the driver’s interface
         - Device Hardware ID = Identifies the supported hardware
         - Device SResource ID = Number, in hex, of the SResource which 
              describes this function
         - Driver Number = Number of the driver which controls this device.
