I'm planning on replacing my old 12Mhz 286 with a new motherboard in the
near future. Since EISA motherboards are coming down in price, I would
like to get more information about EISA and their physical size.
Does anyone have any experiance replacing an ISA motherboard with an EISA
motherboard? I need to know if a standard tower case will accept the EISA
motherboard and cards. I know 'electrically' ISA cards will work, but will they
fit in the case I have?
Has anyone had much experiance with EISA motherboards? I've heard a
rumor of a bug in the Intel EISA chip set. Is there anything to this
rumor, and how would it effect system performance?
Please send email, and I'll be happy to summarize anything I find out.
Thanks in Advance!
Bill
