EISA
Acronym for Extended Industry-Standard Architecture, a 32-bit expansion-bus
design. The expansion-card connectors in an EISA system are also compatible
with 8- or 16-bit ISA expansion cards.
To avoid a configuration conflict when installing an EISA expansion card, you
must use the EISA Configuration Utility. This utility allows you to specify which
expansion slot contains the card and obtains information about the card's required
system resources from a corresponding EISA configuration file.
