Compaq made other, later, and possibly better servers. They were, methinks, the
major player in the EISA camp. If prices for EISA had been lower, volume
probably would have been higher, which would have made the connectors less
costly, hence making the EISA more numerous. That didn't happen, however. Even
so, I never personally saw an EISA system that wasn't for sale.
