I've never been inclined to throw such things away. They normally come with
motherboards that live in cabinets that accomodate expansion boards that mount,
as you said, parallel to the motherboard. I've never owned a motherboard that
required one that didn't come in a box dedicated to such applications. Oddly
enough, I do believe I've got one or two in a drawer somewhere.
If it's two, perhaps you can let me know how many slots you need. It seems to
me that I have one on which the boards protrude in both directions, the riser
having connectors on both sides. The other has the PCB sockets on only one
side. These were just odd enough that I held onto them. I'd say you might find
that nearly any PS/1 that you see at the local thrift store will have one
inside. That may cost less than postage on one.

Actually, I'm looking for the kind that will allow me to mount an ISA card
parallel to the motherboard. I've seen them in desktop systems and
I expect that people just throw them away.
