Shannon's comment that most multibus cards are basically poor.  TRUE!

Actually, I think that the correct statement is
"Low cost boards multibus boards designed by hardware phreaks are
poor."  I think that the problem is that nobody set down a "standard"
software interface description for the boards, and everybody has been
rolling their own since then.  Additionally, the initial set of
peripheral boards by Intel were truly baroque...
