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?
It still hasn't been cleaned up enough to go in, but somebody posted
a trex driver which would need PCMCIA. It was a driver for the card
slots in the Macintosh PowerBook 190.
In theory some other m68k systems have PCMCIA slots that could be
supported as well. I'm sure they're almost as broken and non-standards
compliant as what Apple did.
Even if we remove these options now they can always be re-introduced
if and when a driver that needs them is ready for mainline.

Greg
