1 Introduction
What is VESA VL-Bus?
The VESA VL-Bus is a proposal from the Video Electronics
Standard Association committee. The architecture of the VL-Bus
generally follows the 486 CPU local bus. Additional hardware
functions are added to accommodate VL-Bus master devices and
intrractinn with the system I/O bus. The V L - b u s extends the
capabilities of the 16-bit ISA bus to 3 2 - b u s architecture and up to
100Mb/sec (at 5 0 MHz data transfer rate, while maintaining
compatibility with ISA add-on boards.
