EISA
"The Best of Both Worlds". The EISA (Extended ISA) was developed by the "gang of nine", a group of large computer companies interested in developing an open technology that was better than the ISA bus. The EISA bus combined many of the original features of the MCA expansion slot, while leaving it compatible with the original ISA configuration. EISA buses were generally used in servers; however, the PCI bus is now quickly replacing them. You can identify an EISA bus by its similarity to an ISA bus.
