Kevin – Part of the problem is that my board is a "baby AT" form factor (small) so there isn't a hell of a lot of real estate on the pyhsical board. I suppose it's cheaper to make. Another concern I have is that some of the other ISA slots line up directly over the 486 CPU with it's heat sink. I worry about boards being so close to the frying pan. No problems so far though. Incidently, this board has built in local bus IDE interfaces (2) which don't use any slots (somehow built right in to the motherboard) , so, you don't need any slots for disk interface boards,… unless you want SCSI. I am using one ISA slot for a Turle Beach Multisound card, and another for a Trantor SCSI board for my CD-ROM. – Larry
