ISA(4) BSD Programmer's Manual ISA(4)NAMEisa - introduction to ISA bus support

Attachments are machine-dependent and depend on the bus topology and ISA
bus interface of your system. See intro(4) for your system for details.
DESCRIPTION
The system includes a machine-independent ISA bus subsystem and several
machine-independent ISA device drivers.
Your system may support additional ISA devices. Drivers for ISA devices
not listed here are machine-dependent. Consult your system's intro(4) for
additional information.
Note that interrupt mappings on the i386 may require that you configure
your BIOS to reserve the interrupts for these devices as "Legacy ISA". If
such configuration is not done, the system may use those interrupts for
pci(4) or isapnp(4) devices instead.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
At least the following devices are supported:
SCSI controllers
aha(4)
