EISA is a bus standard for IBM compatible computers. EISA extends the AT bus to 32 bit and allows more than one CPU to share the bus. It was much favored by manufacturers due to the proprietary nature of MCA.
Key features of the EISA bus:
ISA Compatibility: ISA cards will work in EISA slots.
32 Bit Bus Width: Like MCA, the bus was expanded to 32 bits.
Bus Mastering: The EISA bus supports bus mastering adapters for greater efficiency, including proper bus arbitration.
Plug and Play: EISA automatically configures adapter cards, similar to the Plug and Play standards of modern systems.
