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.
