Publisher's Synopsis
- 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.
