I have a general idea of the size -- I have the (canvas?)
carrying case for the Portable 3. It has a compartment

space) that can be unzippered to make the case larger -- I
assume to accommodate the add-on chassis.
I'd like to find a docking station/expansion
chassis
for my Portable 3. It's my understanding that this
will hold *two* (full size?) ISA cards. I'm hoping
that this will be a good, *compact* home for my
Opus PM (I'd hate to have to set up a regular PC
for this -- the Portable 3 has the advantage of the
built in display, etc.).
The expansion bay will hold two cards. I can look
to see if I can find a spare empty one. I use mine
for holders for my Overland tape cards, if you
know how big they are. There are 2 AT slots
in the thing. There was also a tape backup that was made that
I have a specimen of, but no software on the box
or idea what controller or tapes it takes. It is physically
the same size as the expansion box.
I will not be able to look till this weekend, but will
give you an answer by the end of the holiday.
Excellent! I'd like to get the Opus board running again
so I can dump all of the software that I have for it onto
some more reliable medium (currently on 9T tape)
