Synopsis

• ISA System Architecture describes the hardware architecture of ISA (Industry Standard Architecture), providing a clear, concise explanation of an ISA system in detail. The authors provide a comprehensive treatment of the bus including:
• -bus cycles
• -addressing
• -I/O
• -RAM, ROM, and cache memory
• -cache architectures
• -decode and reset logic
• -interrupts
• -system kernel
• -bus mastering
• -DMA
• -RTC and configuration RAM

If you design or test hardware or software that involves ISA, ISA System Architecture is an essential, time-saving tool.

The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title explains from a programmer's perspective the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using one particular type of chip or hardware specification.
