+.Sh NAME
+.Nm gio
+.Nd SGI's Graphics I/O (GIO) bus (an early PCI-like bus)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "gio0 at imc0"
+.Cd "gio0 at pic0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+bus is a bus for connecting high-speed peripherals to the main memory and
+CPU.
+The devices themselves are typically (but not necessarily) connected to the
+.Xr sgimips/hpc 4
+peripheral controller, and memory and CPU are accessed through the
+.Xr sgimips/imc 4
+(Indy Memory Controller) or
+.Xr sgimips/pic 4
+(Processor Interface Controller).
+The
+.Nm
+bus is found on the Personal Iris 4D/3x, Indigo, Indy, Challenge S,
+Challenge M, and Indigo2 machines and exists in three incarnations:
+GIO32, GIO32-bis, and GIO64.

+.Xr sgimips/newport 4 ,
+.Xr sgimips/pic 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Nx 1.5 .
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Challenge S systems may use only one
+.Nm
+DMA-capable expansion card, despite having two slots.
+Cards based on the
+.Xr sgimips/hpc 4
+controller, such as the GIO32 scsi and E++ Ethernet adapters, must be
+placed in slot 1 (closest to the side of the case).
+All other cards must be placed in slot 0 (adjacent to the memory banks).
+.Pp
+Indigo2 and Challenge M systems contain either three or four GIO64 connectors,
+depending on the model.
+However, in both cases only two electrically
+distinct slots are present.
+Therefore, distinct expansion cards may not
+share physical connectors associated with the same slot.
+Refer to the PCB
+stencils to determine the association between physical connectors and slots.
+.Sh BUGS
+Systems employing the
+.Xr sgimips/imc 4
+may experience spurious SysAD bus parity errors when using expansion cards,
+which do not drive all data lines during a CPU PIO read.
+The only workaround is to disable SysAD parity checking when using such
+cards.
