Correct, EISA was Compaq, HP, and some others response to IBM not sharing the sandbox of MCA, so they made their own.:lol: Same $#!^ different vendor! But having PCI on there is nice
In my mind some Compaq employ thought this out:
(Based on the most famous quote from Portal 2, by Aperture Science CEO Cave Johnson)
When IBM gives you lemons....make IBM take the lemons back! Get Mad! Demand to see IBM's CEO! Make IBM rue the day it thought it could give COMPAQ the lemons! Do they know who COMPAQ is? Its the company that gonna burn their market down, WITH THE CLONES. Compaq is going to engineer a bus, that burns their market down!!! -cough-
I went overboard there with the colors, but it was all for fun.
