Sorry to post this to the entire world, but there are activities involving
EISA bus peripherals going on everywhere.  I have yet to see any discussions
on the net regarding EISA boards.  (Perhaps this means users don't yet
care? :-)  ).

This note is a call to the net to post (or mail direct to me for followup)
and relevant information on EISA cards, such as performance, configuration,
required software support, and cost.

Here at Tandon (we have a 486 w/EISA), we have seen (in alphabetical order):

	Adaptec 1740 EISA SCSI Host Adapter
	Allways      EISA SCSI Host Adapter
	Bus Tech     EISA SCSI Host Adapter
	DPT	     EISA SCSI Host Adapter
	Interphase   EISA SCSI Host Adapter
	Mylex DCE376 EISA SCSI Host Adapter
	Mylex        Ethernet Adapter
	Torus        Ethernet Adapter
	Interlan     Ethernet Adapter
	Mylex        Video Adapter
	
I also saw some prototype peripherals shown by Olivetti and Uniforum last
January.  To my (limited knowledge), Olivetti is the only non-USA company
that offers EISA peripherals.

In addition, I would like to know what SCO, Interactive, AT&T, Intel,
Everex, and other Unix manufacturers are contemplating for EISA.  What I
know to date is that SCO intends to offer add-in option diskettes to basic
SCO Unix to enable >16MB memory addressing, and perhaps is working with
some of the above vendors.

Thanks in advance to the net.
