#163906 - ISA is the expansion bus for old AT machines Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Yes but the ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) is just the 16-bit bus introduced on the IBM PC/AT (286) and then informally introduced into all other PC-compatible machines for a huge number of years, before the world tried VLB (VESA Local Bus) or EISA (Extended ISA) before reaching PCI + AGP and now PCI-E.
Your ISA (PATA) hard-disks are basically communicating as if they were boards installed in a edge connector on a AT-class PC. |
