Zorro and ZorroII are Amiga busses. Turbochannel is a DEC bus for
their old MIPS decstations.

There's 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.
