.Dd $Mdocdate: September 4 2016 $ .Dt EISA 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm eisa .Nd introduction to EISA bus support .Sh SYNOPSIS Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and .Tn EISA bus interface of your system. Typical .Tn EISA buses are either connected directly to the main system bus, or via an .Tn PCI to .Tn EISA bridge. See the .Xr intro 4 documentation for your system for details. .Sh DESCRIPTION .Ox includes a machine-independent .Tn EISA bus subsystem and several machine-independent .Tn EISA device drivers.
p
.Ox
provides support for the following devices.
Note that not all architectures support all devices.

p Note that most or all .Tn EISA devices also have .Tn PCI or .Tn ISA equivalents. These are listed in .Xr pci 4 , .Xr isa 4 , or .Xr isapnp 4 , respectively. The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the supported bus variants. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr intro 4 .Sh HISTORY The machine-independent .Tn EISA subsystem appeared in .Ox 1.2 .
