This is why big server vendors, either don't have PCI at all, or only
a couple PCI slots, but around 8 EISA slots?  The Compaq 4500 has 0
(zero) PCI slots, and the HP LS has 2 or 3.  Interesting, if EISA
is really dead, why these guys are making such a mistake?  Could it
be that the Triton chipset is just too damn limiting for _real_ servers?
