ABSTRACT:
A dual-bus riser card for an expansion slot in a computer system is formed by a substrate having an edge portion removably mountable into the expansion slot substantially perpendicular to a motherboard of the computer system, a first plurality of bus slots formed on one side of said substrate and adapted for connection to corresponding expansion boards of either ISA or EISA bus architecture, a second plurality of bus slots formed on another and opposite side of said substrate for connection to corresponding expansion boards of PCI bus architecture. The edge portion of the dual-bus riser card has a plurality of pin connectors for translating bus signals between the motherboard and the expansion boards in order to alleviate congestion caused by the difference between the data processing capacity of a central processing unit and the data transmission capacity of the data bus due to the supporting of two different kinds of bus architectures.
