ASUS Media Bus

The ASUS Media Bus is a plug-in card bus system, which was to find the mid-1990s on some motherboards of PC hardware manufacturer ASUS.

This is a normal 32- bit PCI slot with ISA expansion.

ASUS offered some combined graphics and sound card, or SCSI controller and sound card for the ASUS Media Bus. The graphics card expansion cards could also be used to in a normal 32- bit PCI slot, but for the sound card functionality a media bus slot was needed.

The cards and slots of the older Asus Media Bus Revision 1.0 were not compatible with the later revision 2.0.

Due to the proprietary nature of this solution, the success was modest and the ASUS Media Bus soon disappeared from the market.
