| NuBus interface
This standard interface (originally
designed by Texas Instruments) is a one-piece socket with two rows of pins
made for internal Macintosh cards. NuBus uses onboard ROM to configure
itself and has bus-mastering capabilities that allow it to take control of
the bus for multiprocessing. Power Macintosh computers now use Intel's
superior PCI standard, so NuBus interfaces are usually only seen on older
Macs. |
