Yes, I know of mptable, used it to find the right number.

I'm a bit new to these machines. I would suspect it to be the system bus? If so, I would suspect that the PCI busses and CPU cards are already on it? The only slots in it that is non pci/eisa are those that the CPU and memory cards are plugged into. Shall see if I can find something (there isn't much documentation on these boxes here) later. Have to do some other work now. Terje Marthinussen terjem@cc.uit.no
