A hardware +device may be supported with a character or block +.Em device driver , +or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a +.Em network interface driver . +Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file +system of a special type; see +.Xr mknod 8 . +Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess +communication facilities provided by the system; see +.Xr socket 2 . +.Pp +A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time +and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled +into the system. When the resultant system is booted, the +autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device +and, if found, enable the software support for it. +If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration +time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. +To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, +the system will have to be rebooted. +.Pp +The autoconfiguration system is described in +.Xr hp300/autoconf 4 . +.Sh LIST OF DEVICES +The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of +the system. Pseudo-devices are not listed. +Devices are indicated by their functional interface. +Occasionally, new devices of a similar type may be added +simply by creating appropriate table entries in the driver; +for example, new +.Tn CS/80 +drives. +.Bl -column grf/ite description -offset indent +.It com serial interfaces (98644, 98626, and built-in apci and dca) +.It ct 7946/9144 CS/80 cartridge tape +.It dcm HP 98642A communications multiplexer +.It dio DIO/DIO-II bus +.It dnkbd Domain keyboard +.It dvbox HP98730 ``DaVinci'' device interface +.It fhpib ``fast'' HP-IB interface +.It frodo Frodo ASIC (a.k.a.
