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.

It's about 2 1/2 times bigger than a PCI slot,
as i originally
mentioned. It
looks a lot like an ISA port (ISA style connectors
and black casing),
but is
a lot bigger. There's only one connector on
the mobo, which does support
the
riser card theory. Luckily, the system has onboard
video, serial and
parallel ports, etc. so it won't be so bad.
Thats the case. Most pizza boxen that are under 5" high have to mount the
card
horizontally so the do the 120 pin connector and riser with the cards
plugging into
the riser sideways.
I have a AT&T P100, Dell 486DX and Dell 386sx/16 all using risers like
that.
