|  | 71 | The MCA bus functions provide a generalised interface to find MCA | 
|  | 72 | bus cards, to claim them for a driver, and to read and manipulate POS | 
|  | 73 | registers without being aware of the motherboard internals or | 
|  | 74 | certain deep magic specific to onboard devices. | 
|  | 75 | </para> | 
|  | 76 | <para> | 
|  | 77 | The basic interface to the MCA bus devices is the slot. Each slot | 
|  | 78 | is numbered and virtual slot numbers are assigned to the internal | 
|  | 79 | devices. Using a pci_dev as other busses do does not really make | 
|  | 80 | sense in the MCA context as the MCA bus resources require card | 
|  | 81 | specific interpretation. | 
|  | 82 | </para> | 
|  | 83 | <para> | 
|  | 84 | Finally the MCA bus functions provide a parallel set of DMA | 
|  | 85 | functions mimicing the ISA bus DMA functions as closely as possible, | 
|  | 86 | although also supporting the additional DMA functionality on the | 
|  | 87 | MCA bus controllers. |
