<title>Machine-independent podulebus drivers</title>

<para>
The following devices (driver name in parentheses) are supported by 
machine-independent podulebus drivers.  If you do not see your device
listed here, check your platform's page; there may not yet be a
machine-independent driver for your device.
</para>

<para>
Alternatively, it may be the case that your device is compatible with one
listed here, or your device may not be listed due to an oversight.  If you
are unsure, please boot a -current kernel or send mail to 
<email>netbsd-users@NetBSD.org</email>.
</para>

<para>
"podulebus" is NetBSD's name for the expansion-card bus (sometimes known as
"XCB") used by the Acorn Archimedes and its many successors.  The devices
that attach to this bus have been officially called "expansion cards" since
at least 1987, but their original designation as "podules" (peripheral modules)
is still more common.
</para>

<para>
podulebus devices are supported by <ulink url="../../ports/acorn26/">NetBSD/acorn26</ulink>
and <ulink url="../../ports/acorn32/">NetBSD/acorn32</ulink>.
</para>

<para>
Please note that these pages reflect the state of NetBSD-current. To check
the supported hardware list for a specific release of NetBSD, check
that release's installation notes.
