If I remember correctly, a 9 slot x 4 connectors wide
are ABCD and
available with support for either 18-bit or 22-bit addresses. The
last slot usually expects a terminator board. I can't remember the
actual part numbers.
Not necessarily. H9273 (18-bit) and H9276 (22-bit) are indeed straight
backplanes, but H9275 is serpentine.
There are also more recent backplanes in a BA23 box
which are
8 slots by 4 connectors wide.
True, but Sander was looking for something small, and those boxes aren't
very small with the PSU and drive bays! He'd be better looking for a
BA11-M or its backplane, an H9270. That's a a 4x4 serpentine with card
guides, that can fitted right onto the side of an H780 PSU. Or a BA11-V
which is a small-form tabletop box with a 2x4 serpentine backplane
similar to an H9281-BA.
