ISA System Architecture

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.
