Hi all.  I'm going to be putting an Adaptec 1742 card in my machine. I was
looking at the kernel configuration (/sys/i386/conf/GENERICAHB) and i noticed
that the file said 
# GENERICAHB -- Generic ISA machine with aha1742 -- distribution floppy
						^^^
Will I bocome sad if I try to recmompile on an eisa machine.  It's not that I
want a 1742 b/c it's eisa (although it might be nice) it's that I'm getting
this card for free.  

I also know that this card has two modes...Standard and Enhanced.  Does
anybody know what I'm going to need to use??? Thanx..alex...
