>>IMO five slot PCI boards are the way to go. Now that you say that, ZP, I meant to mention in my dream machine post that there are NO isa cards in them. I never thought I would see this day before the (false) millenium, but here I am ISA-free. Which reminds me of a story (anybody watch Justin Wilson?). Several years ago, when I lived in cube space like Dilbert, a friend and colleague put up Linux. He proceeded to wander into cubes for weeks wearing a grin that, in the words of R. Kipling, "Ran round his face three times," declaring "I'm DOS free!". Well, I'm no longer in cube space (Gott sei Dank!), and he's no longer a colleague, but still a good friend I correspond with. Now he's royally PO'd that he must now develop for Windows to make a living ... . So it goes <g>.
