The current Soyo Triton boards have the CPU placed such that you can fit 3 long PCI cards (and only one long ISA card). These boards work very well for us; they have 256K PB cache on the board (still have a PB slot for more if you need it, but that would occlude one of the long PCI slots). They're also pretty cheap. > One of my PC vendor friends is pulling in a number of boards for eval, > but I thought I would ask here first. Your pal should have no trouble sourcing Soyo boards; if you need a proper part number let me know, but basically "Soyo Triton PB cache board" should be all they need. > Joe Greco - Systems Administrator jgreco@ns.sol.net -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
