No, we are not. The P800 series used a card format, the name of which
escapes me at the momen, but I believe it started with an M. The only
experience with Philips computers, other then the P800 series, is the
P2000. It was marketed by Philips Austria, and was a pre-PC system. I
believe there was a CP/M based P3000, but I'm not quite sure.

There is a backplane, and each card can have two or three extra
connectors at the back, similar to the one in the middle, going to the
backplane.

Are we talking about ISA-bus computers here?? If so
the colour
graphics card was a Persyst Bob card, and the bi-sync adapter, if
equipped, was also made by Persyst.? I know because I signed them to
the contract to buy those two items. I know about their high standards
of Quality Control because they rejected about 1/3 of my initial
shipments!
In 1985, every computer that included a CRT made by Philips was made
at their factory in Ste. Laurent, QC, or so their engineers told me.
