What sort of a system used EISA?
It was an attempt by a number of manufacturers, including Tandy and
Compaq, to extend the ISA bus out to 32bits while maintaining some form of
backwards compatability and without using IBM's MCA bus. I believe it was
used mostly in servers and other high-performance applications.
