EISA was probably more important in that it lead to PCI, than the standard itself.

- FullyFunctional 5y agoAmending my "crap HW" comment: PCI was a massive step forward and PCIe even more so. PCIe to me marked a turning point where PC IO could be considered enterprise-class. Obviously the CPUs had improved a lot by then with the Pentium Pro marking a milestone and the beginning of Really Good implementations. (The ISA of course remained garbage).
