	Extended Industry Standard Architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		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 (the "Gang of Nine") 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.

	Industry Standard Architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Industry Standard Architecture (in practice almost always shortened to ISA) is a computer bus standard for IBM compatible computers.
		The XT bus architecture is an eight-bit ISA bus architecture used by Intel 8086 and Intel 8088 systems in the IBM PC and IBM PC XT in the 1980s.
		The PC/104 bus, used in industrial and embedded applications, is a derivative of the ISA bus, utilizing the same signal lines with different connectors.

	EISA - Extended Industry Standard Architecture
		EISA is a bus design standard which is fully backward compatible with the ISA bus.
		EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) is a bus architecture designed for PCs using an Intel 80386, 80486, or Pentium microprocessor.
		An acronym for Extended Industry Standard Architecture (an extension of the (ISA) Industry Standard Architecture).

	[No title]
		Because EISA is a superset of the existing standard, it allows personal computer users to preserve and build on their substantial investments in industry-standard hardware, software, peripherals and training.
		EISA is an enhancement to the existing Industry Standard Architecture which consists of three key components: microprocessors (such as the Intel 80386), operating systems (such as MS-DOS) and the input/output (I/O) bus or expansion slots.
		EISA is designed to fill this need with an open, fully compatible, 32-bit architecture platform that will support emerging work-group applications such as local area networks, communication gateways, database access by multiple users, and transaction processing.

	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.

	Extended Industry Standard Architecture - EISA
		Short for Extended Industry Standard Architecture, EISA, also known as Extended ISA, is a standard developed in 1988 for IBM and IBM compatible computers to compete with the IBM MCA bus.
		The EISA bus is found on Intel 80386, 80486 and early Pentium computers.
		Today, the EISA bus is not commonly used or found as PCI and AGP have become the popular bus for the IBM compatible computers.

	EISA Acronym for Extended Industry Standard Architecture
		Acronym for Extended Industry Standard Architecture, pronounced "ee-sah." A PC bus standard that extends the traditional AT-bus to 32 bits and allows more than one processor to share the bus.
		EISA was developed by the so-called Gang of Nine (AST Research, Company Computer Corporation, Epsom, Hewlett-Packard, NEC Olivetti, Tandy, Wyse Technology, and Zenith Data Systems) in 1988 in reply to IBM's introduction of their proprietary Micro Channel architecture (MICA).
		EISA maintains compatibility with the earlier Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) and also provides for additional features introduced by IBM in the MCA standard.

	Problems Managing EISA Partition on Dynamic Disks
		After you upgrade a basic disk containing an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) partition to a dynamic disk, the partition is not displayed in the proper location and cannot be managed in the Disk Management snap-in (LDM) in Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
		When an EISA partition resides on a dynamic disk it is shifted by Disk Management to partition two, there is no drive letter associated with it, and it does not appear as a typical Simple volume.
		The incorrectly display of an EISA partition when it resides on a dynamic disk by Disk Management has no effect on the ability to boot from or use the partition if system maintenance is required.

		Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) Bus The most common bus in the PC world, ISA stands for Industry Standard Architecture, and unlike many uses of the word "standard", in this case it actually fits.
		Unlike ISA, here the name is not indicative of reality, for the EISA bus never became widely used and cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered an industry standard.
		EISA is not totally dead as a platform the way MCA is, but it is pretty close.

		The latest SCSI standard is Ultra-3 (sometimes spelled "Ultra3")which increases the maximum burst rate from 80 Mbps to 160 Mbps by being able to operate at the full clock rate rather than the half-clock rate of Ultra-2.
		Ultra DMA was developed as a proposed industry standard by the Quantum Corporation, makers of hard disk drives and Intel, makers of chip sets that support computer bus technology.

		EISA - The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus is a standard bus architecture that extends the ISA standard to a 32-bit interface where data transfers can reach a peak of 33 MB per second.
		It was developed in part as an open alternative to the proprietary Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) that IBM introduced in its PS/2 computers and announced as a standard in 1998.
		The PC99 specification called for all manufacturers to migrate devices off of the ISA and EISA busses, due to compatibility and performance issues.

	HIMEM.SYS /EISA Switch
		When the /EISA switch is not used (or when the MS-DOS version 5.0 version of HIMEM.SYS is used), only the amount of contiguous extended memory identified by Int 15H/88H (get extended memory size) is allocated by HIMEM.SYS.
		If a system has 24 MB of memory installed (and all extended memory was in one contiguous block starting at 1 MB) and Int 15H/88H reports 16 MB available, HIMEM will use only 16 MB, leaving the remainder unused and unavailable.
		If no other drivers using extended memory are loaded before HIMEM.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file, the /EISA switch can safely be used to force HIMEM.SYS to allocate all EISA memory, not just the amount returned by Int 15H/88H.
