About

What shall I tell you about myself? I’ve been writing about old games and, to a lesser degree, classic computing for about ten years. The main function of this blog is to provide me a central place for announcements regarding my various web projects, like, for example, Download Central.

Why did I call this blog The ISA-Bus?

It was the whim of a moment, really, since I noticed the ISA bus is a good symbol for the time I mainly cover. In the widest sense, it spans the 20 years from 1981 (when IBM released the first PC) to 2001 (when the last standard mainboards with ISA slots were produced); in a stricter sense, the time between 1988 (when the term was coined) and about 1997 (when Microsoft and Intel began their war against it).

That’s about it.
