No stuff here, ...  EISA config is a TRUE pain.  Total Hassle.  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.  Fun, Fun, Fun. 
Unfortunately for this 4G disk, 20+ user monstrosity a neccesity.
