I wonder about this; someone told me they upgraded to EISA & didn't see
much improvement.  With platter speeds of 3-5MB/s, I really wonder if
you need the extra b/w of a wider bus.
I don't have specs on hard re: the thruput of ISA but I tend to think
it's > 3-5MB/s.

Are there significant latency issues perhaps?  That might convince me.

I agree with this, I'm stuck with 16MB and I'll probably just end up
upgrading the whole shebang... memory, controller, motherboard, CPU
all at once... grr... but it needs upgrading as the mboard uses 30-pin
SIMMS :-/
