Well, the problem, see, is I don't know exactly how to identify which
cards I need, which is why I was asking people to describe to me the
ones the had. :)

I'm not interested in getting stuff off eBay anyway. eBay is the debbil.
And not in a good way.

It looks like I have an offer for a bunch of stuff, so for now it seems
Project Evil's hardware needs will be met.

Project Evil only supports cardbus, PCI and (to some small extent)
PCMCIA. I have plans to make it support USB. But EISA? Sorry, can't help
you. Nobody makes Windows XP drivers for EISAbus devices. :/
