Philips mini computers

[nico de jong]

No, we are not. The P800 series used a card format, the name of which 
escapes me at the momen, but I believe it started with an M. The only 
experience with Philips computers, other then the P800 series, is the 
P2000. It was marketed by Philips Austria, and was a pre-PC system. I 
believe there was a CP/M based P3000, but I'm not quite sure.

Cheers

There is a backplane, and each card can have two or three extra 
connectors at the back, similar to the one in the middle, going to the 
backplane.
