- LOCAL BUS is the bus that your processor accesses memory on. It runs at the
- same speed as the processor. This is much faster than EISA. Most people
- who buy EISA, buy one because they want faster hard disk access,
- faster video, and faster Ethernet access. I would exepect to see in the
- upcoming months boards designed to accomodate LOCAL BUS SCSI, IDE, ETHERNET;
- Not necessarily from ZEOS.
