My new machine also has a Phoenix BIOS, it runs fine with Julian's
bootblocks and with all the rest, but i ain't got EISA boards (yet).
I'm planning to use an EISA grafx engine and probably a 1742 SCSI
some day, from all the Netnews discussions, that shouldn't cause
problems. (The only point of discussion has been the magic limit
of 16 MB to *ISA* [bus master DMA], and whether this would be auto-
magically removed when using an EISA. I don't know the answer,
only:-) have 16 MB.)
