I realize that my systems need "device pci" for the PCI cards and "device isa" for some internal things and probably installed ISA cards, but I really wonder what eisa is good for. So, does one *always* have to enable eisa if one enables isa (which means that eisa can not really ever be disabled), or does eisa only refer to special hardware that is not generally included in most PCs and can thus be disabled? Any hints are welcome!
