very nice work on that slot description, very nice indeed. left a couple
out though.....
MCA, microchannel architecture, was a short lived IBM phenomenon. It looks
similar to ISA but the cards had blue tabs on them. This came in both 16
and 32 bit and was the first 32bit bus, but because it was expensive,
proprietary and IBM wouldn't share it, it died with the advent of EISA.
AGP is today's answer to video cards. Accelerated Graphics Port. It
operates off the processor bus at the speed of that bus. It can also
double up, transferring data on both the up and down beat of the processor
clock, running therefor at twice the CPU clock speed.
AGP is a short slot looking somewhat like PCI but more delicate in appearance.
Then of course there are USB, IEEE94 firewire and PCMCIA slots (pc cards
for laptops) but these aren't set up like the old slot types of bus.
Wish I could draw lovely diagrams to match dave's but I don't have the
number of pins handy nor am I so good at ascii art...
