There is no hardware included for mounting the boards. You have to make your own system of mounting, so you ought to be able to make it fit with whatever else is in there. -- ben@epmooch.UUCP ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu {chinet,uokmax}!servalan!epmooch!ben (Ben Mesander) War in gulf: newpath 288 396 216 0 360 arc 288 612 moveto 288 180 lineto 288 396 moveto 136 244 lineto 288 396 moveto 440 244 lineto 36 setlinewidth stroke showpage

Does anybody out there know if the I/O expansion board described here and
in AC fit in an A1000 with an Insider memory board? It looks like it sits
rather low, but I cannot tell from the pictures in the magazine how much
it sticks up. I realize that the memory moard will probably get in the way
of the serial interface boards, but that aside, will the expansion board itself
fit under the (original) insider?
TIA (thanks in advance), Steven Meloche

I realize that the memory moard will probably get in the way There have been a couple messages like this...perhaps the article was not clear that the I/O board itself, and the serial interface boards that do the 12 V conversion, are connected via ribbon cable. That means you can put it (keeping the cable length reasonably short) whereever it will fit...so it should work with a lot of configurations. Whether it fits *nicely* or not is another matter, but it should fit. [I don't have experience with the Insider board; sorry.] -- Dan Babcock
