 Extended Industry Standard Architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (in practice almost always shortened to EISA and frequently pronounced "eee-suh") is a bus standard for IBM compatible computers.
It was announced in late 1988 by PC clone vendors as a counter to IBM's use of its proprietary MicroChannel Architecture (MCA) in its PS/2 series.
EISA extends the ISA bus architecture to 32 bits and allows more than one CPU to share the bus.

 EISA(Extended Industry Standard Architecture)
EISA is a superset of the ISA 8 and 16-bit architecture, extending the capabilities of ISA while still maintaining compatibility with ISA expansion boards.
EISA was similar to MCA both in terms of technology and market acceptance: it had significant technical advantages over ISA, and it never caught on with the PC-buying public.
While EISA supports level-triggered interrupt lines, it is important to note that older ISA cards cannot share interrupts even when plugged into an EISA connector, since they rely on older edge-triggering.

When we last looked at EISA six months ago, it was eagerly anticipating its upgrade to 56K connections and the expansion of its POPs into rural areas.
At the time, EISA claimed technical difficulties with Optus, but this time around, even with the new connections, it was still losing far too much to the US (10.1%) and the ping response times were sluggish.
EISA's pricing is very competitive; it has just a few dialup plans, which incur an initial $25 set-up fee.

All of the 82355 EISA Interface signals with the exception of the data signals IDAT[31:0] and address signals IADS[31:10] are directly connected to the EISA bus.
The polarity of IDDIR signal forces the 74F245 A outputs (24ma) to be connected to the EISA bus, and the 74F245 B outputs (64ma) to be connected to the 82355.
Although this configuration compiles with the EISA Bus Specifications for DATA current drive, it is recommended that the 74F245 B outputs (64ma) connected to the EISA bus.

 Hewlett-Packard Journal: Software for the HP EISA SCSI card - Extended Industry Standard Architecture, Small Computer ...
The EISA SCSI software falls into three categories: software that runs before the system is completely booted (offline software), software that runs after the HP-UX or MPE system has started running (online software), and special test software that provides workloads and stress conditions not normally achieved by run-time system software.
The EISA bootable interface for HP 9000 Series 700 work-stations had to overcome the problem of needing a con figured interface subsystem before the subsystem could be used to boot the system, while the utility to configure the subsystem could not be run until the host system had booted--a classic system configuration problem.
Unlike the predominant EISA bus implementations on MS-DOS(R) personal computers that have an internal disk drive to boot from, the Series 700 workstations need to provide a basic configuration for booting from many different types of external devices.
