Looking into the PCI features of the SIS chip set, I think that such
thing should'nt claimed to be for PCI.
A PCI master that does not use PCI bursts, is just wasting about 75% of
the PCI bandwitch since the PCI bus is address/data multiplexed.
An ISA bridge not using bursts is acceptable (5 MB/sec), but all things
that can transfer data at a reasonnable speed over the PCI must use PCI
bursts, otherwise the PCI bus bandwitch will not be larger than the
EISA bus bandwitch.
If it is still possible to change this crap for something serious, you
should do it, IMO.
