As for EISA, since it must work with old boards >(or what's the point) and old boards claim all 10-bit aliases, there >is nothing wrong with the LIM technique, even in a post-EISA world. Not totally irrelevant if you are designing cards for both. As for EISA, I'm almost positive I've read that it will allow 16 bit addresses, but I] haven't seen anything that says how. I think they are planning to do something weird with the slots make each slot somewhat unique i.e. the bus hardware would 'know' that slot 5 is uses a 10-bit address and only passes I/O addresses which don't use the 6 high bits (this is purely speculation on my part based on the very sketchy EISA information I've seen).
