Is there any difference between Laserbus and
Turbolaser other
than clock rate? The AS8200/8400 are supported under NetBSD.
Would it be possible to leveredge any of that work for 7000 support?
Some time ago the AS8x00 manuals were up on the COMPAQ website,
but right now I cannot find them. (Alpha tech manuals always
seemed much more available than the corresponding VAX and
PDP manuals).
I don't think I have anythong that describes TLSB in any
detail, but if all that changed was the clock frequency,
I wouldn't have expected the name to change.
OTOH, if you have a VAX or DEC 7000, see what happens if you
assume (LSB == TLSB) ... (I didn't realise that NetBSD
knew how to run on the bigger Alpha systems, but I've
not really kept track as I don't have one!)
