Does any one know what is unique about the EISA (Ext'd Ind. Stand. Arch)
that is suppose to give IBM such a blow?  I've seen newspaper articles on it
but no techical specifics.  What are the 9 or so companies that were in 
on it? As far as I have heard/read among them were Compaq, Commputer 
Associate (I guess to make sure there's a sufficient amount of software
available for the new srchitecture), and another company that I forget.
Anyone know of any references or press releases that are fairly technical
and specific?
