Part of the "idea" here was (I thought) to eliminate the need for jumpers and such on the cards easing installation woes. So instead of jumpering 3 or 4 snap-headers ( 2-3 minutes glaring at a manual) I get to spend 15 minutes running the configuration utility from floppies & trying to copy EISA config Files on a single floppy system.
