| 13 | + The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was |

---|
| 16 | + The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel |
---|
| 17 | + bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for |
---|
| 18 | + the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and |
