RE: RE: [Nolug] Old monitor

You meant EISA ??

EISA is extremely old bus system. I've seen them used in 286 machines. I
still have couple of EISA 3com nics somewhere. It was double the bandwidth
of old 8-bit ISA bus used in "Industrial" strength computers. :o)

It looks like ISA slot but is taller due to two rows of connectors instead
of one.
