The very first EISA machines were brand new in June of
1989, and were
powered by 25 MHz 80386 CPUs. I used to have a copy of the Byte in
question, which also featured MCA clones. I wish I knew where it got to.
I don't think the first machines using 33 MHz 80486 CPUs were released
until sometime 1991.
I don't think its the Byte article you mention, but the May 1990 Byte goes
into a comparison of EISA and Microchannel. Says the first EISA machine was
a HP Vectra 486 and talks as if the Compaq Systempro was next.
