What _is_ a "high-performance EISA SCSI adapter?" From my own possibly limited
knowledge of technobabble I would guess this to be an "Extended Industry
Standard Architecture SCSI adapter," which is something I would expect to
drop into a high-end PC clone. Do these new HP machines use the EISA bus
for peripherals?  If so, I somehow missed that in the earlier postings.
