Acronym for Extended Industry-Standard Architecture, a 32-bit expansion-bus de- sign. The expansion-card connectors in an EISA computer are also compatible with 8- or 16-bit ISA expansion cards.

To avoid a configuration conflict when in- stalling an EISA expansion card, you must use the EISA Configuration Utility. This utility allows you to specify which expan- sion slot contains the card and obtains information about the card’s required sys- tem resources from a corresponding EISA (0&configuration file.
