There are a huge number of VESA Localbus cards that identify as EISA cards, including having all the EISA device identifier stuff in tehir ROMs. The disk controllers are the worst, but I have seen at least two video boards that do the same thing. Though I'd like to deprecate VESA Localbus as an abomination, I guess it has to be supported. Maybe it would be possible to have a separate "VLBus" bus that went in before the EISA bus?
