Turbochannel
is the bus I've seen most often with DEC RISC workstations,
although I think they were not the only vendor to use it. The MIPS boxes
and the early Alpha boxes were Turbochannel. Mostly, it was used for
frame buffers, but I think there were one or two non-graphic Turbochannel
cards.
Of course there are: I have an Ethernet adapter (10 Mbit) in my
DECstation 5000/125 which is a TurboChannel card and AFAIK there also
exist some SCSI cards for the TurboChannel.
This is a partial list of things I could find on the web.
AV300-AA Audio/Video Capture Card
KZTSA Fast-Wide-Diff SCSI
CITCA CI Cluster Interface
DEFTA FDDI Adapter (fiber)
DEFZA FDDI Adapter (copper)
DGLTA ATM Adapter
DETRA Token-Ring Adapter
PMAZB Dual SCSI Controller
PMAZC Dual Fast SCSI Controller
There's also a lot of stuff listed in the NetBSD TURBOChannel device
header file "syssrc/sys/dev/tc/tcdevs.h".
In addtion to their MIPS and Alpha systems, later model DEC VAXstation
systems (4000 series) also used TURBOChannel as a bus.
