System Address Bus
. Allows access to physical memory
devices (e.g., BIOS ROMs) up to 4 Mbytes.
System Address Bus
. These address lines are used to
interface to BIOS ROMs but may also be used to
implement a subset of the ISA bus if required. SA[19-16]
are connected to ISA bus SA[19-16] directly. SA[19-17]
are also connected to LA[19-17] of the ISA bus.

System Data.
SD[15:0] provide the data path for BIOS
ROMs and for devices residing on the ISA bus. SD0-7
also output general purpose output information when
GPOWE# is active.
I/O Read.
IOR# is the command to an ISA I/O slave
device that the slave may drive data on to the ISA data bus.
I/O Write.
IOW# is the command to an ISA I/O slave
device that the slave may latch data from the ISA data bus.
Memory Read.
MEMR# is the command to a memory
slave that it may drive data onto the ISA data bus.
Memory Write.
MEMW# is the command to a memory
slave that it may latch data from the ISA data bus.
Interrupt 1 (optional external Keyboard Controller).
Interrupt 8 (optional external RTC).
Interrupt 12 (optional external PS2 Mouse Controller).
Interrupt 14 (IDE Primary Channel).
Interrupt 15 (IDE Secondary Channel).
Speaker Drive.
Output of internal timer/counter 2.
