I have a Packard Bell setup and an HP, both of which use an EISA bridge
(according to the signon) and EISA-looking riser card, at right angles in the
case of the PB and parallel to the really small lower card in the HP. Both have
ISA expansion and PCI as well, and both have video, etc. (all the usual mobo
stuff) on the lower board.
