Integrated Circuit Buses

Intel is coming out with a new uP bus called Common System Interface or CSI. The Common System Interface will also be used with FPGA's or other devices. CSI has been in development since around 2003, and is set to hit the market in 2008 with Intel's new processors. I have not yet found the standard that defines the CSI bus, so the page is some what weak... CSI is an IC Bus, so it will not drive a cable that I can tell. The CSI bus is linked of the Interface Bus 'C' page.

I also moved the ESDI bus to it's own page. The Enhanced Small Device Interface is an outdated Hard Drive interface rendered obsolete by the introduction of the IDE interface. ESDI is a Personal Computer Bus. and is linked of the Interface Bus 'E' page.

Of course SATA is the bus you want driving your hard drive, or Serial SCSI.
