Now I *am* confused!  I thought I just read a long thread last month
about EISA and how much faster the bus is, but some folks were worried
that putting an ISA card in the EISA machine would slow down that bus.
8.33 vs. 8 doesn't seem that much faster, and I'd swear the numbers
used for EISA were much higher.  Anyone?......
