1252.0. "DE205 in EISA mode, what exactly does it do and how" by BSS::F_BLANDO (Je suis grand, beau, et fort!) Mon Jan 27 1997 10:55

I am working with a customer, and I am getting very confused on what exactly is
the DE205 EISA mode.  We are using NT 3.51 on an AlphaServer 1000.

- What is it, I mean the card is ISA, and I read that there is no performance
gain in EISA mode
- The DEC2050.CFG ECU does not work.  The ECU wants it named @@@0000.CFG, but
then when the machine reboots it complains of ID mismatch (ECU V1.9).

What am I missing?

	The DE203/4/5 can be configured to basically look like an EISA card. However, this functionality is not supported by most of the drivers. (I know for a fact the the NT driver doesn't support EISA mode.) You're correct in that EISA mode does not buy you any performance advantage. -Brent
