They are better than Plug an Play. PnP doesn't let you choose any
settings. Not having jumpers is a nice way to have it too. Plus not
all PS/2s use the referance partition (IML).
Maybe you would like Microchannel in the RS6000 line..... they don't use
adf files I have heard!

IMO you can't really can't call MCA or EISA plug'n'play.
That entire business with reference partitions (my own Prosignia is dormant
since I overwrote its "BIOS" while installing OpenBSD), ADFs and config files
is not much more elegant than jumpers.
Yes, EISA had a good selection of SCSI. And the PC has a good selection of
software. That's no reason to like either, though. ;-)
