What I dislike about either system is that it's so awfully software-based.
IMO you can't really can't call MCA or EISA plug'n'play.
That entire business with reference partitions (my own Prosignia is dormant
since I overwrote its "BIOS" while installing OpenBSD), ADFs and config files
is not much more elegant than jumpers.
Yes, EISA had a good selection of SCSI. And the PC has a good selection of
software. That's no reason to like either, though. ;-)
