  One thing to keep in mind about EISA...It died very quickly in the
PeeCee world primarily due to complexity and the need to keep config
floppies around.  It lived MUCH much longer in the workstation world.
Case in point, I've got a two Alphas in the next room that are just a
couple of years old that have EISA slots.
