Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) is a bus standard for [IBM compatibles]? that extends the XT? bus architecture to 16 bits. It also allows for [bus mastering]? although only the first 16 MB of main memory is available for direct access. In reference to the XT bus architecture it is sometimes referred to as "AT bus architecture". |

Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) is a bus standard for [IBM compatibles]? that extends the XT? bus architecture to 16 bits. It is designed to connect peripheral cards to the motherboard. The protocols also allows for [bus mastering]? although only the first 16 MB of main memory is available for direct access. In reference to the XT bus architecture it is sometimes referred to as "AT bus architecture". |
