The EISA is just about the size of the ISA, isn't it? I've never had an
interest in EISA so haven't looked at 'em in detail, but is seems to me that,
since the ISA boards plug directly into an EISA slot, they must be the same
size.
That would suggest that if the bridge board is bigger than the normal ISA slot,
it's probably not an EISA either. (?)
