I have a Packard Bell setup and an HP, both of which
use an EISA bridge
(according to the signon) and EISA-looking riser card, at right angles
in the
case of the PB and parallel to the really small lower
card in the HP.
Both have
ISA expansion and PCI as well, and both have video,
etc. (all the usual
mobo
stuff) on the lower board.
Could be but since its a slim lince case even if it were EISA it would
have to
be shorter in height. Most of the boxen that require the 120 or so pin
card
do it for mechancical reasons and the busses can be ISA, EISA, and the
AT&T
I have has ISA, EISA and even PCI on the right angle card!
