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.

96Note that most or all
97.Tn EISA
98devices also have
99.Tn PCI
100or
101.Tn ISA
102equivalents.
103These are listed in
104.Xr pci 4 ,
105.Xr isa 4 ,
106or
107.Xr isapnp 4 ,
108respectively.
109The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the
110supported bus variants.
