13	  The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
14	  developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
15
16	  The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
17	  bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
18	  the older ISA bus.  The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
19	  1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
20
21	  Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
22
23	  Otherwise, say N.

28	default n
29	help
30	  Activate this option if your system contains a Vesa Local
31	  Bus (VLB) card that identify itself as an EISA card (such as
32	  the Adaptec AHA-284x).
33
34	  When in doubt, say N.

36config EISA_PCI_EISA
37	bool "Generic PCI/EISA bridge"
38	depends on !PARISC && PCI && EISA
39	default y
40	help
41	  Activate this option if your system contains a PCI to EISA
42	  bridge. If your system have both PCI and EISA slots, you
43	  certainly need this option.
44
45	  When in doubt, say Y.

50config EISA_VIRTUAL_ROOT
51	bool "EISA virtual root device"
52	depends on EISA && X86
53	default y
54	help
55	  Activate this option if your system only have EISA bus
56	  (no PCI slots).
57
58	  When in doubt, say Y.

60config EISA_NAMES
61	bool "EISA device name database"
62	depends on EISA
63	default y
64	help
65	  By default, the kernel contains a database of all known EISA
66	  device names to make the information in sysfs comprehensible
67	  to the user. This database increases size of the kernel
68	  image by about 40KB, but it gets freed after the system
69	  boots up, so it doesn't take up kernel memory. Anyway, if
70	  you are building an installation floppy or kernel for an
71	  embedded system where kernel image size really matters, you
72	  can disable this feature and you'll get device ID instead of
73	  names.
74
75	  When in doubt, say Y.
