EISA(4)                   NetBSD Programmer's Manual                   EISA(4)


NAME

     eisa - Introduction to EISA bus machine-independent drivers and support


SYNOPSIS

     Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and EISA-bus interface of
     your system. Typical EISA buses are either connected directly to the main
     system bus, or via an PCI-to-EISA bridge.  See the intro(4) documentation
     for your system for details.


INTRODUCTION

     NetBSD 1.2 and later versions include  machine-independent bus support
     and drivers for the following EISA bus devices.


SUPPORTED DEVICES

     NetBSD includes machine-independent EISA drivers, sorted by device type
     and driver name:

     SCSI adaptors:
           ahb      Adaptec 174x EISA SCSI adaptor.
           ahc      Adaptec AIC 7770, 274x, and 284x EISA SCSI adaptor boards.
           bha      BusLogic  BT-74x SCSI boards.
           dpt      DPT SmartCache/SmartRAID III and IV SCSI adaptor boards.
           uha      Ulrastor 24f EISA SCSI adaptor.

     Network interfaces:
           ep       3Com 3c579 and 3c592 10Mbit Ethernet, and 3c597 10/100Mbit
                    Ethernet interfaces.
           fea      Digital DEFEA EISA FDDI adaptor.

     Note that most or all EISA devices also have PCI or ISA equivalents.
     variants. These are listed in pci(4), isa(4), or isapnp(4), respectively.
     The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the supported bus
     variants.
