Hello USENETters! We are currently assembling an image processing system. We wanted to use a Compaq 386 running Xenix. The boards are already chosen, but we are suddenly facing one problem: The Compaq has 8 I/O connectors, and we have 9 interfaces (one slot for the memory extender, 4 for the image processing hardware ...). Is it possible to extend the AT bus, using e.g. an extension chassis? Where can we buy such a beast? Or are there 386s with more than 8 slots? Please answer per mail to ruediger@ramz.uucp. I will post a summary.

Or are there 386s with more than 8 slots? TI 1300 series have 13 slots, 8 full size, and 5 half (actually a little more like 3/5) size. Also 6 (half-height) drive bays, and a fairly hefty power supply. -- Stuart.Lynne@wimsey.bc.ca {ubc-cs,uunet}!van-bc!sl Vancouver,BC,604-937-7532
