As far as I know, EISA machine are 'supported' to the extent that linux
runns happily on them... however, linux doesn't take adavantage of any
extra features that EISA machine have.
The problem runing linux on a MCA machine is the Harddrive driver...
MCA machines apparently have an incompatible harddrive controlling
mechanism as opposed to EISA/ISA.
So, the answer to your question depends on your definition of 'supported.'
