34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm eisa
37.Nd introduction to EISA bus support
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and
40.Tn EISA
41bus interface of your system.
42Typical
43.Tn EISA
44buses are either connected directly
45to the main system bus, or via an
46.Tn PCI
47to
48.Tn EISA
49bridge.
50See the
51.Xr intro 4
52documentation for your system for details.
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54.Ox
55includes a machine-independent
56.Tn EISA
57bus subsystem and several machine-independent
58.Tn EISA
59device drivers.
60.Pp
61.Ox
62provides support for the following devices.
63Note that not all architectures support all devices.

89.Pp
90Note that most or all
91.Tn EISA
92devices also have
93.Tn PCI
94or
95.Tn ISA
96equivalents.
97These are listed in
98.Xr pci 4 ,
99.Xr isa 4 ,
100or
101.Xr isapnp 4 ,
102respectively.
103The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the
104supported bus variants.
