42bus can be configured for each supported ISA bus.
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44.Nx
45provides machine-independent bus support and
46drivers for ISA Plug-and-Play (isapnp) autoconfiguration of
47PnP-compatible
48devices on an ISA bus.
49.Sh SUPPORTED DEVICES

119ISA Plug-and-Play devices also have alternate ISA drivers with
120static ISA IO address configuration.
121These are listed in
122.Xr isa 4 .
123The
124.Nm
125bus ignores devices that have already been found and configured as
126.Xr isa 4
127devices.
128The
129.Nm
130bus is only effective on machines which lack a PnP BIOS, or  on
131which the PnP BIOS has been disabled.
132The manual pages for each individual
133.Nm
134driver also list
135the supported front-ends for other buses.
