EISA boards

[Lee Bertagnolli]

I received a list of EISA boards from AST last week, and I thought that I
would share it with the net.  Which of these items come with Unix drivers
is not specified, but the product list with phone numbers should prove
imminently useful for those who custom-build or hack their own systems.  
If anyone out there knows what Unix/Xenix drivers are available for 
these boards, please let me know and I will re-publish this list,
showing which boards come with drivers for which versions. 

All products listed are supposed to be currently shipping.  All these boards 
are 32-bit boards.  Nearly all the boards listed indicate bus mastering
capabilities.  The absence of a "Yes" under the "Bus Master" column merely
notes that bus mastering capabilities were not specified on AST's list.

I have double-checked the phone numbers with AST's list. I can assure
you that the phone numbers are only as accurate as AST has provided them.
Good luck.
