I had recently posted some links here for John Larkin, with boards that had more than half a dozen ISA slots. Not very expensive. For a super-tight budget there's China but I don't know this company, it was just a quick search result: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/299316304-Intel-D845GECL-Intel-motherboards-with-ISA-slot-845GE-wholesalers.html -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
