It's not quite a Pentium board with more than 4 PCI slots, but you can get ISA/PCI passive backplanes with more than 4 PCI slots. In Industrial Computer Source's ((800) 523-2320) catalog I find these passive backplanes (Only backplanes, you also need box and passive backplane computer): Model 15013-02 6 ISA, 1 CPU, 6 PCI slots $790 Model 15018-01 11 ISA, 1 CPU, 6 PCI Slots $940 Model 15018-02 8 ISA, 1 CPU, 9 PCI slots $995 These use Digital bridge chips. I got a for passive backplane computer that fit in these backplanes (PICMG standard) from Arista ((510) 226-1800). It was Pentium 166 with 512 kb sync. cache, watchdog timer, Triton II chipset, 64 MB EDO parity RAM , onboard C&T 65545 SVGA, serial and parallel ports, optional onboard SCSI (Adaptec 7880) for $2145. This particular one has Award BIOS and might therefore not work the Digital bridges (see other post). Jonas
