View source for Property:Bus type

The bus type is a [[Has type::text]] field containing only one of the following permitted values:

* Expansion cards
** '''[[Allows value::ISA]]''' - original ISA bus
** '''[[Allows value::EISA]]''' - IBM's extended ISA bus (VLB cards are often mistakenly called EISA, make sure it really is EISA!)
** '''[[Allows value::VLB]]''' - VESA Local Bus
** '''[[Allows value::PCI]]''' - original PCI (not PCI Express)
** '''[[Allows value::AGP]]'''
** '''[[Allows value::PCIe]]''' - PCI Express
* Drives
** '''[[Allows value::IDE]]''' - standard IDE drives
** '''[[Allows value::SCSI]]''' - devices connected to the SCSI bus
** '''[[Allows value::PC Floppy]]''' - standard floppy drives with Shugart 34-pin interface
*** '''[[Allows value::Shugart 50-pin]]''' - older PC-compatible floppy interface for 8" drives
** '''[[Allows value::USB]]''' - devices that connect to USB

Other buses should be added to [[:Property:Bus type]] as needed.  If a device is available with more than one bus type, a different page should be created for each version of the device, as technically those cards are slightly different models.

If a card has multiple bus connections (e.g. some POST cards support both PCI and ISA on different edges of the card) then pick the oldest one, and list the others in the article text using code similar to this:

 This card also has a <nowiki>[[Bus type::PCI]]</nowiki> connector.
