Sounds like a Packard Bell box. They used an EISA bridge to an expansion bus at
right angles to the mobo. Of course just because it looks that way doesn't mean
it really is.

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.

Can you be more specific?
There doesn't seem to be full standardization of bigass.
It COULD be EISA, or it could be something uniquely proprietary.
