Industry standard (disambiguation)
Extended Industry-Standard Architecture
<architecture, standard> (EISA) /eesa/ A bus standard for
IBM compatibles that extends the ISA bus architecture to
32 bits and allows more than one CPU to share the bus. The
bus mastering support is also enhanced to provide access to
4 GB of memory. Unlike MCA, EISA can accept older {XT bus
architecture} and ISA boards.
EISA was announced in late 1988 by compatible vendors as a
counter to IBM's MCA in its PS/2 series. Although
somewhat inferior to the MCA it became much more popular due
to the proprietary nature of MCA.

<architecture, standard> (ISA) A bus standard for {IBM
compatibles} that extends the XT bus architecture to 16
bits. It also allows for bus mastering although only the
first 16 MB of main memory is available for direct access.
In reference to the XT bus architecture it is sometimes
referred to as "AT bus architecture".
Compare EISA, MCA.

Industry standard
An industry standard is a technical standard used in technical contexts throughout an industry. It may also refer to:
- Industry Standard Architecture, the 16-bit internal bus of IBM Personal Computer/AT
- Industry Standard Coding Identification, a standard created to identify commercials that aired on U.S. TV
- The Industry Standard, a news website and former magazine
