ISA and EISA are evidently very different. I assumed that 16 bit ISA slots and 32 bit EISA slots are essentially the same, but EISA cards won't fit in ISA slots. The Adaptec 2747AT I picked up is EISA, and it won't plug into my backplane...
I've since ordered an ISA multi I/O card with floppy/IDE/serial/parallel/game port that has the settings on the card itself. I'm hoping a PICMG EVOC board, made in Shengzhen China, will work wih an ISA floppy controller... If there was such a thing an as EISA/PICMG 1.0/PCI backplane, I could use an EISA card... I guess there aren't any EISA passive backplanes. Looks like I can get a PCIe floppy controller, but that requires a PICMG 1.3 or later backplane. -- Michael C.
