Talk:Extended Industry Standard Architecture
|
|
Although somewhat inferior to the MCA it became much more popular due to the proprietary nature of MCA. But by the time there was a strong market need for a bus of this speed, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) became the market standard and EISA vanished into obscurity.
- But V/LB was massively popular for several years before PCI took off. Am I missing something? Crusadeonilliteracy 14:26, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, the chronology is off. But it was a factor that by the time the market wanted a bus with the speed and capabilities of EISA, other solutions (like VESA and PCI) won instead. Feel free to revise :-) - David Gerard 15:02, Feb 11, 2004 (UTC)
- I've done quite a bit of fixing. It's also better organised - summary, technical then its demise. Further thoughts? - David Gerard 11:02, Feb 12, 2004 (UTC)
I remember hearing that ISA didn't actually have a standard name until EISA came along (therefore if EISA was the "extended" version, the original must have been "industry standard architecture".) Anyone know if that is true? -- DrBob 19:24, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
