Reports on boards that are installed on the EISA
bus
syntax /etc/eisa [slots¦h¦H]
Description You must log in as root to execute the script.
The eisa command provides information about the host adapters
that are installed on the system. By default, eisa reports on the
motherboard and 15 slots (slots 0-15). You can specify a number
of slots for which you want a report. If you specify a higher
number of slots than you have on your computer, the eisa report
for those slots is invalid. If you do not specify slot information,
use H or h to get usage information.
Here is a sample report.
Slot: EISA ID:
Vendor: Prod#: Rev#:
EISA Ver
MB 04 90 FD 09 Epson
0x000 01
1
4 04 90 00 00 Epson 0x000 00
6 04 90 00 00 Epson 0x000 00
Each of these fields is described below:
Slot: This field contains logical number of the slot on the EISA bus
to which the board is attached. The motherboard is always
configured as slot 0, so slot 0 is reported as MB.
EISA ID: This field contains the standard EISA ID. The first four
digits represent the vendor; the next four digits represent the
product number and the revision number for the product.
