35.Sh NAME
36.Nm isa
37.Nd introduction to machine-independent ISA bus support and drivers
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Pp
40Attachmens are machine-dependent and depend on the bus topology and
41ISA bus interface of your system.  See
42.Xr intro 4
43for your system for details.
44.Sh INTRODUCTION
45.Nx
46includes a machine-independent ISA bus subsystem and several
47machine-independent ISA device drivers.
48.Pp
