Do you really need EISA, MCA and PCMIA? They have no promt thus cannot be
selected by the user.
Yes, your right, they don't look like than can be selected at all.
None of the default configs seem to reference them either.
Geert: do you know why these options might still be around?
Just legacy. There was a time they needed to be there. Let them go!
