The 274x EISA boards were hot performers for their day. My first Linux
box was a 486/50 with 16MB of memory and a 2742 controller. Amazing that
X actually ran on it with (some) root to spare.
I have a 247x EISA in a 486DX50 machine running a 68 pin SCSI HD, they are
nice cards to have. My other 486DX50 EISA has a caching IDE card in it, also
very nice. The vast majority of EISA cards are network or SCSI, I only have
a couple EISA video cards and keep looking for a rare Targa 2000 EISA card
(recently snagged the Nubus version which is also hard to find).
