13 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
14 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
15
16 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
17 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
18 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
19 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

21 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
22
23 Otherwise, say N.

42 bridge. If your system have both PCI and EISA slots, you
43 certainly need this option.

65 By default, the kernel contains a database of all known EISA
66 device names to make the information in sysfs comprehensible
67 to the user. This database increases size of the kernel
68 image by about 40KB, but it gets freed after the system
69 boots up, so it doesn't take up kernel memory. Anyway, if
70 you are building an installation floppy or kernel for an
71 embedded system where kernel image size really matters, you
72 can disable this feature and you'll get device ID instead of
73 names.
74
75 When in doubt, say Y.
