I remember a dealer in College Park, MD selling them (Software'n'Things if anyone else out there remembers them; to the best of my knowledge they aren't operating under that name anymore if at all). One of the big selling points was that they were upgradable by virtue of the passive backplane. Buy an XT-compatible now, later on you can upgrade to an AT-compatible just by swapping the CPU card for the '286 flavor. BTW Doug, is that your face I saw gazing up at me from this morning's San Jose Mercury News? If not, there's some guy calling himself Doug Salot who has some stuff in his collection that's an awful lot like things you've mentioned on this list. -Frank McConnell
