Nubus/PDS Slot Devices Definitions

Note:  Because of the ability for the Slot 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.  PCI Slots are not covered in this category.

            When Nubus/PDS Slots is displayed, the All Slots checkbox appears
            which forces the list to include slots with assigned functionality but no 
            physical slot card.  This is also true if the <cmd> key is held down while 
            choosing Reports... from the TattleTech pull down menu.

General:
              Slot 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 other 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 other boards.  If a declaration ROM is
            present, either type board is reported by slot after the physical slot
            counts below.
                  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 slots 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.  You can force the list to include all slots 
              which have a device or function mapped to them by selecting the All Slots 
              checkbox.
   ◊ Pseudo Nubus Slot# = This number represents the physical location of the
              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.  These fields are not listed in the "Tab-
              Delimited Text File Report" format. [Present In Board ROM]

      + 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
              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.
              Refer to the Driver list
