Including PCI electric specifications, numerous design examples, and beginning and advanced topics such signal groups and types, the arbitration process, plug and play configuration, electrical and mechanical features unique to PCI-X, and much more, PCI Bus Demystified is an excellent resource, classroom text and self-teaching tool.

I found this book to be a useful quick reference book, the writing is clear and its up to date. I like having the ebook on the CD-ROM for searching different topics.

I regreted that I purchased this book. I wish I can return the book and get my money back. It is only a "simplified" and "re-organized" version of the real spec. It is worthless.
