they must have never heard of the EISA standard before and assumed it was a combo PCI-ISA slot (because of the extra row of 32 bit pins) but PCI-ISA does not exist.
those riser cards in NLX boards probably look like an EISA card, but the manufacture probably didnt use the EISA spec, and rather just connected pins to pins from the riser slots to the motherboard.
believe me when i say PCI-ISA doesnt exist, i have a 1200 page A+ certification book, and it covers the most absurd things back to the 8088 days, and it mentions no such slot design as what they are saying.

allright, looked back at the datasheets, and it's called PISA =P (not pci-isa, like i guessed =D)
it's probably not in your book because the pisa probably isn't a standard, and for sbc's, it isn't used very often, and may be unique to kontron. the pisa slot is meant to connect to a backplane, which contains more power supply, an isa bus, and a pci bus. in my datasheet, they didn't give any pinouts on how the pisa bus is wired =(

well thats what i assumed they did, they used an EISA connector, didn't use the EISA spec and wired it however they wanted to.
with a bit of patience, and a lot of time, you can probably eventually find the pinouts for the slot.
good thing you didn't plug it into an EISA slot, i can't imagine what that would have done X.x
