43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44.Nx
45provides machine-independent bus support and
46drivers for ISA Plug-and-Play (isapnp) autoconfiguration of
47PnP-compatible
48devices on an ISA bus.
49.Sh SUPPORTED DEVICES

117ISA Plug-and-Play devices also have alternate ISA drivers with
118static ISA IO address configuration.
119These are listed in
120.Xr isa 4 .
121The
122.Nm
123bus ignores devices that have already been found and configured as
124.Xr isa 4
125devices.
126The
127.Nm
128bus is only effective on machines which lack a PnP BIOS, or  on
129which the PnP BIOS has been disabled.
130The manual pages for each individual
131.Nm
132driver also list
133the supported front-ends for other buses.
