For those expansion cards that are just looking for a warm home and free utilities (power), you might want to consider a simple PC case with power supply and mother board. The mother board can be passive (no electronics to speak of) or some old 8088 board. Most TBCs, vectorscope/waveform cards, and D/A and sync generator (ie Toast Timer) cards are only there for those basics. First, though, you need to be sure of any need for a control link to those cards. I recall that the DPS line of products use the serial port, so that should be able to run over to your "slave" chassis. Bruce
