I have found two expansion chassis that are considerably cheaper than Tecmar and IBM, but I have not evaluated either of them. The first is made by P.C. Horizons, is called the PC-XTRA, and has 6 slots and a power supply. One slot must be used for bus extension to the PC. The only limitation seems to be that no cards using the 14.3 MHz oscillator may be used. At one of the fairs they were advertising it for $549. Its styling is almost identical to the PC. The other unit is made by Anrok Computer Produucts and also has six slots, a power supply and a fan, and is called the PCX-6. They suggest a price of $495. Their data sheet is rather sparse on other information. Addresses: P.C. Horizons, Inc. Anrok Computer Products 200 North Tustin Ave. 2405 de la Cruz Blvd. Santa Ana, CA Santa Clara, CA 714-953-5396 408-727-7622 I would be interested if anyone has used either of these units or similar ones since I am in need of an expansion unit for my XT. - Dave Ramsey -

I was perusing INFOWORLD volume 5 number 37 (9/12/83) and came across an Advanced Computer Products advertisement on page 80 for an M&R "SUP'R EXTENDER" for $439. It supposedly is an IBM PC and XT expansion chassis with 6 slots, power supply and fan.
