Hi,
I just got a dual 200MHz pentium pro with 128Megs single board computer
+ 14-slot PCI/ISA passive backplane.
The backplane is about the size of an average ATX motherboard, so it can
fit in an ATX chassis, but then I cant use all
the slots. Does anyone know where I can get a 14-slot chassis really
cheap??

PS: if you are asking how the hell I can going to use 14 isa/pci slots
on a computer, blame it on my transputer cards :-)

Not asking HOW you're going to use it but rather WHERE did you find one? I
could absolutely use one if it were reasonable. Heck I could always build an
alumimum case to accomodate it.

I got the SBC and the passive backplane on ebay. The backplane cost me
$30 and the SBC was $75.
There is an auction for one right now for a 14 slots passive backplane.
And there are tons of SBCs out there.
Search for single board computer (titles only) and search for passive
backplane (titles and contents)

Appreciate it. I saw your past auction bids and it gave me a few ideas.

While we're on the topic of sbc/passive backplanes, can someone tell me if
you can run an sbc without the backplane, assuming it's got a disk controller
and whatever else you need on board? PRobably off topic, so private e-mail
is great.

As long as you can get power to it, yes :)
