The TURBOchannel was a publicly-available bus standard developed by DEC. It was used on the VAXstation 4000 series, the MIPS-based DECstation series, and the Alpha-based DEC 3000 series of DEC workstation computers.
The range of DEC TURBOchannel adapter types produced includes:
- Video options: PMAG* MX/CX/PX/PXG Graphics Boards
- SCSI options: PMAZ* SCSI controllers
- FDDI option: PMAF TURBOchannel FDDI option board
- Ethernet option: PMAD 10 Mbps Ethernet controller
- Token Ring option: PMAT TURBOchannel Token Ring Adapter
- VMEbus option: PMABV TURBOchannel to VME option board
Additionally there were numerous TURBOchannel options from third-party vendors.
