>> I got a flyer in the mail today from Bit3 Computer Corporation. >> They sell bus expansion units for ISA,… etc. >> They just announced a PCI expansion unit. I just got some literature from them also (asked for it via Internet:info@bit3.com). However the literature states: "PCI host expansion card plugs into and functions with any PC platform that supports PCI bridges." Does that mean it can only be used for specialized purposes? My purpose would be to use the expansion PCI slots as though they were on my main motherboard. I have asked for a clarification from Bit3 (even though I cannon afford anything right now <g>). They also sent a price list but I cannot mention that (even though I have violated that rule in the past and got away with it <g>).
