.Dd February 17, 1997 .Dt EISA 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm eisa .Nd Introduction to EISA bus machine-independent drivers and support .Sh SYNOPSIS
p Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and .Tn EISA bus interface of your system. Typical .Tn EISA buses are either connected directly to the main system bus, or via an .Tn PCI to .Tn EISA bridge. See the .Xr intro 4 documentation for your system for details. .Sh INTRODUCTION .Nx includes a machine-independent .Tn EISA bus subsystem and several machine-independent .Tn EISA device drivers.
p Your system may support additional .Tn EISA devices. Drivers for .Tn EISA devices not listed here are machine-dependent. Consult your system's .Xr intro 4 for additional information. .Sh SUPPORTED DEVICES .Nx includes machine-independent .Tn EISA drivers, sorted by device type and driver name:
p .Ss Disk and tape controllers l -tag -width pcdisplay -offset indent t cac Compaq array controllers. t mlx Mylex DAC960 and DEC SWXCR RAID controllers. .El .Ss SCSI interfaces l -tag -width pcdisplay -offset indent t ahb Adaptec 174x .Tn SCSI interfaces. t ahc Adaptec AIC 7770, 274x, and 284x .Tn SCSI interfaces. t bha BusLogic BT-74x .Tn SCSI interfaces. t dpt DPT SmartCache/SmartRAID III and IV .Tn SCSI interfaces. t uha Ulrastor 24f .Tn SCSI interfaces. .El
p .Ss Network interfaces l -tag -width pcdisplay -offset indent t ep 3Com 3c579 and 3c592 10Mbit .Tn Ethernet , and 3c597 10/100Mbit .Tn Ethernet interfaces. t fea Digital DEFEA FDDI interfaces. t le Digital DE422 .Tn Ethernet interfaces. t tlp Digital DE425 .Tn Ethernet interfaces. .El
p Note that most or all .Tn EISA devices also have .Tn PCI or .Tn ISA equivalents. These are listed in .Xr pci 4 , .Xr isa 4 , or .Xr isapnp 4 , respectively. The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the supported bus variants. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr intro 4 , .Xr ahb 4 , .Xr ahc 4 , .Xr bha 4 , .Xr cac 4 , .Xr dpt 4 , .Xr ep 4 , .Xr fea 4 , .Xr le 4 , .Xr mlx 4 , .Xr tlp 4 , .Xr uha 4 .Sh HISTORY The machine-independent .Tn EISA subsystem appeared in .Nx 1.2 .
