Do all EISA and MCA based systems require these? I don't seem to remember
having to deal with them on MCA based RS/6000 AIX systems, or say under
NetBSD/i386 for an old 80386 EISA box I have.
Is it possible that maybe the existence of .ADF and .INF files is just a
brain-damaged Microsoft OS requirement?

EISA. I thought it was an okay bus while maintaining backwards
compatibility with ISA. It'd have been more successful if it were
cheaper. As for other non-jumpered busses, Sun's Sbus is nice.
EISA is similar to MCA, it's got the same descriptor files, only they're
called INF instead of ADF.
