A local bus standard developed by Intel that first appeared on PCs in late 1993.  PCI
provides “plug and play” capability and allows IRQs to be shared.  The PCI controller
can exchange data with the systems CPU either 32 bits or 64 bits at a time.
PnP (Plug and Play)
A set of specifications that allows a PC to configure itself automatically to work with
peripherals.  The user can plug in a peripheral device and play it without configur-
