Hi,
I am looking for a rack mount for ISA-based cards.? Anyone know where I
can pick one up....

Is it a rack drawer for a passive backplane that you want, or do you want a
rackmount PC box to accomodate a normal motherboard?
I've occasionally received advertising literature for "industrial-strength"
rackmount PC enclosures, but have never seen an offering which would fit the
description "powered passive ISA backplane.
These boxes are NOT cheap. BTW.

For a powered passive ISA backplane, try Jameco. You can buy the chassis,
the passive motherboard (either 14 ISA, or a 10 ISA and 4 PCI combination),
and the power supply separately. Or you can get the chassis with power
supply (300W) for $400, and the backplane is $70 or $120 for the combo
ISA/PCI.
If you want a rackmount case for a standard AT or ATX motherboard, thats
still rather expensive. Try www.cyberguys.com, they have 3 rackmount
cases. One is for AT only, another ATX only, and a third is the least
expensive and accepts ATX or Xeon and costs $243 (though it didnt
say what size power supply it has, so possibly it doesnt come with one).
The AT with 250Watt is $309, the ATX with 300Watt is $341.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, they are still rather expensive
compared to the barebone PC :-( Wonder if I can pick up a used one
somewhere.....

Ram,
I missed the first part of this thread so I'm not sure exactly what
you're looking for. But I have some rack mount PCs that use a passive back
plane if that's what you're looking for. They have a 486 CPU on a plug in
card. The case, back plane and cardes are all made by Advantech. Contact me
directly if you're interested.

What I want is a passive backplane for ISA cards. Currently, I am using old
PCs (386s) for the ISA slots. I removed ALL the cards (video, disk, etc,
etc) and just left the barebone motherboard to fits ISA cards into them.
Unfortunately, they are taking up more space than a rack mount. If anyone
is curious, I need this for my transputers. The root transputer is the only
one that needs access to disks, video, etc, etc and that would reside on my
main computer while the rest of the boards just need to be powered up (so
they can reside on the rack mount).
