Ken, Those Jameco cards are listed on page 54 of their 1992 Annual Catalog. For those who may not already know, their order number is (800) 831-4242. Their address is 1355 Shoreway Road, Belmont, CA 94002. The fax is (800)237-6948; telex, 176043. The plug-in card is 7"L x 4.25"H; the extender board, 6.6"L x 5"W. The kit description says it "contains plug-in extender card, cables and extender board which sits outside of the computer. Straight pin-to-pin extension for all slot pins. Fuese for +5V and +12V. Comes with one 16-bit and two 8-bit slots. Expandable to four 16-bit slots using PC mount Connectors: 49/98PC(see page 75). Ideal for test/repair of add-on boards. Power supply connector allows for the use of external power sources. All pin-signal assignments of bus are clearly marked on slot no. 4 for easy testing and monitoring." It may be intended for developing hardware. Of course, there are enough parts sold to make a case or something. Don't let the spooks get you! 🙂 Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless'

Gayle, the JAMECO rig sounds like it should work. Just fit it into a case and you're all set. Anyone going to try it? Ken Cooper – Vancouver

Ken, I was fiddling with it yesterday, looks pretty tempting but too much money. You can buy a 386 motherboard for the same price. Paul
