Ken - Re: " If some of the chips were moved to the 'daughterboard' (SIO/PIO disk controllers) then we could choose an EIDE (w/current SIO/PIO and controllers) card or a SCSI card containing the same functions. (Both cards would allow everything!)"

I don't know what kind of motherboard/PC you have, but everyone I have bought for at least 4 years (3 PC's/motherboards) have the SIO, floppy and hard disk controllers soldered to the motherboard.

As for SCSI - I use plug in cards for that - as do most people who use SCSI - simply because most people DON'T use SCSI and motherboard makers try to keep their costs down, including "universal" features.

Re: "How many 'daughterboard' slots could be populated on the 'motherboard' if the 'motherboard' only contained the CPU, support, and memory slots."

I don't know - is it important?
