Subject: Re: Anyone want some free EISA cards?
The challenge with EISA is finding the .CFG files that work with the
EISA Configuration Utility so you can get the mainboard to work with
the boards.
The floppy-based sets I have come across are a superset of those
needed for a specific board so it is usually worth digging around in
manufacturer "driver"/mainboard diskettes to check if they also
shipped .CFG files for boards other than their own.
The .CFG files (they are text files sometimes with comments) can be a
useful source of information about what the board does and how it is
intended to work (like slot-specific assignment, IRQ conflicts etc).
