 EISA Definition
We define EISA |
EISA - This is the 32-bit extension of the 16-bit ISA expansion slot. It was generally used only in server machines, and it never caught on for consumers because 32- bit VL-Bus and PCI were more accessible. However, for server machines, EISA beat out VL-Bus and PCI because you could have numerous EISA slots in one machine without any complex wiring. Some server boxes had as many as 14 EISA slots. VL-Bus and PCI initially supported fewer than four slots, and that was a problem if you wanted to install 7 network adapters and 5 RAID cards. EISA made it possible. Nowadays PCI is much more robust, and VL-Bus has long since fallen by the wayside. |
