Description

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.
