.Nd Introduction to EISA bus machine-independent drivers and support
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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 INTRODUCTION
|
|
.Nx
|
|
includes a machine-independent
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
bus subsystem and
|
|
several machine-independent
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
device drivers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Your system may support additional
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
devices.
|
|
Drivers for
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
devices not listed here are machine-dependent.
|
|
Consult your system's
|
|
.Xr intro 4
|
|
for additional information.

.Xr isapnp 4 ,
|
|
respectively. The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the
