	ISA - Industry Standard Architecture, Instruction-Set Architecture, Interactive Services Association, Internet ...
		Eventually, the ISA connector was stretched to allow 16-bits of data to pass through each clock cycle, bringing its speed to between 8 and 10 MHz.
		Industry Standard Architecture - ISA is a standard bus (computer interconnection) architecture that is associated with the IBM AT motherboard.
		ISA (Industry Standard Architechture) is the 16-bit bus architecture used in the older IBM PC/XT and PC/AT PCs, and the AT version of this bus became the industry standard.

	ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) Definition
		Stands for "Industry Standard Architecture." ISA is a type of bus used in PCs for adding expansion cards.
		The original 8-bit version of ISA was introduced in 1981 but the technology did not become widely used until 1984, when the 16-bit version was released.
		However, by the end of the twentieth century, ISA ports were beginning to be replaced by faster PCI and AGP slots.

	EISA - Extended Industry Standard Architecture
		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).
		This is a bus standard that extends the AT bus architecture to 32-bits and allows more than one CPU to share the bus.

	Meaning of Industry standard architecture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Industry Standard Architecture (in practice almost always shortened to ISA) is a bus standard for IBM compatibles introduced in 1984 that extends the XT bus architecture to 16 bits.
		In reference to the XT bus architecture it is sometimes referred to as the AT bus architecture.
		Upon the end of the 1990s, ISA's popularity started to wane, and most IBM PC motherboards began to be designed with several PCI slots but with few if any ISA slots.

	Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) Bus Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The choices made in defining the main characteristics of the ISA bus--its width and speed--can be seen by looking at the processors with which it was paired on early machines.
		The original ISA bus on the IBM PC was 8 bits wide, reflecting the 8 bit data width of the Intel 8088 processor's system bus, and ran at 4.77 MHz, again, the speed of the first 8088s.
		In 1984 the IBM AT was introduced using the Intel 80286; at this time the bus was doubled to 16 bits (the 80286's data bus width) and increased to 8 MHz (the maximum speed of the original AT, which came in 6 MHz and 8 MHz versions).

	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.
		Unfortunately, motherboard manufacturers discovered that EISA architecture and their ensuing EISA architecture peripheral cards were much more costly to produce than an ISA card was.
		The memory refresh controller, the active DMA channel with the highest priority and peripherals vying for bus control compete for ownership of the bus by means of a three-way sharing scheme controlled by the EISA arbitration unit, the Integrated System Peripheral chip.

	TechFest - ISA Bus Technical Summary
		The Industry Standard Architecture, or ISA, bus originated in the early 1980s at an IBM development lab in Boca Raton, Florida.
		In response, the industry coined "ISA" as a new name for the bus that was eventually adopted by everyone including IBM.
		Over time various ISA bus specifications were produced in an attempt to alleviate the compatibility problems.

	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 (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 (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab5.csail.mit.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		'''Industry Standard Architecture''' (in practice almost always shortened to ISA) is a computer bus Standard for IBM compatibles.
		Five [[16-bit and one 8-bit ISA slots on a motherboard]] In 1987, IBM moved to replace the ISA bus with their proprietary Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) in an effort to regain control of the PC architecture, and the PC market.
		This was a major contributor to the use of the phrase "plug-n-pray." PCI slots were the first physically-incompatible expansion ports to directly squeeze ISA off of the motherboard.

	The debate about open architecture
		The PC industry is an example of an "open" revolution, although standards arose out of the dominance of a few hardware and software developers.
		The PC industry was born around an off-the-shelf hardware bus (the ISA, or industry standard architecture) and Microsoft DOS and subsequently Windows.
		If everyone in the access control industry followed these standards, the customer could choose the best fit for their organization in each category, buying the access control system from one vendor, the badging system from another, the time-and-attendance system from another and the hardware from yet another.

		While most of the attention today is given to the current local bus standard, PCI, and the new AGP port that is likely to become the next standard interface for video, these have evolved from a series of older buses that you will still find in service today on older PCs.
		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.
		The ISA bus, still running at the same speed and bus width that it did on the IBM AT, was finally and totally outmatched by these increasing demands and became a major bottleneck to improving system performance.

	Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) Bus
		The ISA bus eventually became a bottleneck to performance and was augmented with additional high-speed buses, but ISA persists because of the truly enormous base of existing peripherals using the standard.
		Also, there are still many devices for which the ISA's speed is more than sufficient, and will be for some time to come (standard modems being an example).
		Market leaders Intel and Microsoft want to move the industry away from the use of the ISA bus in new machines.
