It's got two PCI slots on a daughterboard. One is dedicated to a NCR 53C810
SCSI host adaptor that's not even used in the default configuration. It's got
on-board ethernet, video, sound, IDE, and floppy, and two PCMCIA slots.
If you really need two PCI devices other than SCSI it shouldn't be too hard
to hack up a new daughterboard, and it should fit into a regular case pretty
easily. It's just so *cute* in that little box, though. <grin>
