Author Description
A time-saving tool for those who design or test hardware or software that involves EISA (extension to the industry standard architecture). Describes EISA's hardware architecture, explains how EISA differs from ISA, and gives an overview of the bus structure, including bus masters and slaves, bus arbitration, and interrupt handling.

Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the technical specifications and operational mechanics of the Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus system. Authors Don Anderson and Tom Shanley provide a comprehensive technical manual designed for hardware engineers and software developers. The book utilizes detailed architectural diagrams and logical explanations to contrast EISA with its predecessor, the ISA bus, while establishing a framework for understanding bus-level communication in PC systems.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Detailed analysis of EISA hardware architecture and bus structure
- Comparative studies between ISA and EISA standards
- Technical documentation on bus masters, bus slaves, and arbitration protocols
- In-depth coverage of interrupt handling and system configuration
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts and engineers frequently cite this work as a foundational reference for legacy PC hardware architecture. Readers often note the technical density of the prose, which is tailored specifically for professionals involved in hardware design and system-level testing.
