- No stuff here, ... EISA config is a TRUE pain. Total Hassle. Part of
- the "idea" here was (I thought) to eliminate the need for jumpers and
- such on the cards easing installation woes. So instead of jumpering 3
- or 4 snap-headers ( 2-3 minutes glaring at a manual) I get to spend 15
- minutes running the configuration utility from floppies & trying to copy
- EISA config Files on a single floppy system. Fun, Fun, Fun.
- Unfortunately for this 4G disk, 20+ user monstrosity a neccesity.
