- There is a book out there, written by a guy called Solari, that
- covers the ISA and E-ISA bus in great detail. This guy reverse-engineered
- the entire timing scheme, which can be seen as a amazing job.
- I hope you have enough info to find a copy. (I left mine at home
- so I can't give ISBN numbers or something, sorry).
