I just read an article in the latest c't (German computer magazine) which
included a part of a c't article about EISA slots of 04-92 with a top view
of the slot. It says: "This illustration corrects those printed in c't 12-89,
DOS intl 01-92, and Computer Persönlich 06-92." (which were two other
magazines totally unrelated with the first one.)

So never ever trust a specification from a single source, maybe not even
from three.
