Can anyone provide more details on this "EISA fix" for INTERACTIVE? What
specific problems is it supposed to fix? What versions of INTERACTIVE
does it pertain to? I ask because we've been running DigiBoard's
DigiCHANNEL C/16 EISA cards under 2.02 and 2.2 for awhile now without
difficulty. Are we just lucky?

Thanks for any information you can give.
