The AT bus is the same thing as the ISA bus, nowadays. Back in
8-bit times, AT bus referred to the 16-bit version of this old doodah,
but the narrower one should be pretty much discontinued by now. EISA is
not commonly seen; if it is seen, it's in larger server-oriented things,
mostly.
From what I've read in comp.os.linux and c.o.l.announce, you
should be able to get it running on your machine without much problems;
but then, I'm a UNIX-illiterate DOS weirdo, so I won't pay any
damages...

If you think I'm gonna be responsible for this crap, you're madder than I am.
