A couple of Slot A boards had 1 or 2 ISA slots... other than that, you're talking K6-2. which went up to 550MHz. Be my guest - I'll stick to my 1133Mhz P3, though ;-) What did I say? Those are industrial control boards. You're talking at least £250 + VAT. Actually, stockists are really easy to find. As for the Soyo - good luck! I gave up trying to find one a long time ago ;-)
I've been reading this for the past couple of days, and.......... Right now on our auction site, I can get you an "ISA Bus 8 Slot Passive Backplane" starting bid is $50nzd if your interested, if not and it's worth grabbing I might get it for myself! Send me a PM if you're interested and I'll get you the link!
Not sure that thing would be of much use to me to be honest There are entire PC's on UK eBay for less than that plus have the laptop + docking station for now I just don't want any old PC to do the trick though I want something with enough grunt to use as a day to day desktop and run ePSXe for comparison too hehe. Something like that would be kinda cool if the ISA slots were on both sides of the board, so the cards could be displayed through some plexiglass or whatever in their entireity, like some form of T adapter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backplane Imagine a motherboard with nothing on it. You slot in whatever you desire on it which in a way is very useful as modern motherboards come with everying on and they may skimp in some areas. The only problem is with that is everything available for it is crap A butterfly backplane sounds cool though but a butterfly ISA to single PCI Y adapter would be cooler (if it existed) I refined my idea to display my boards though. I figure a smallish motherboard with the ISA slots mounted at + and - 45 degrees in a server size chasis with a plexiglass window on the side will display these boards in all of their glory. I wouldn't need to build a longer cable as such to hook the boards together as I'd just slot invididual wires to the pins one at a time, job done. It would need a custom mounting bracket and back panel of course. The ISA port for one board may also need to have the pinout inverted too to display the board face but meh it is only theoretical at this point but it would be a labour of love if I ever got around to it. Probably not though but a man can dream.
I got pictures. Took some pictures with my psp-300 so they may not be the best but its best i could do. If I cant upload them fdirrectly, I'll post on photobucket.

more the dtl boards: from left to right: 4 dtl-h201a artist boards, 3 dtl-h2000 complete with 2 boards and link cable 7 dtl-h2500 boards here you can see part of the "midway" logo sticker on one of the dtl-h2500 boards, most of the stickers are partially cut. Here's the dtl cd rom cables, the 2 round ones go to the dtl-h2000 board, and the 2 ribbon cables fit the dtl-h2500 and dtl-h2700 which connect to the internal cdrom drive and everything together, didn't get that white psp-1000 in the lot, would've been nice though :nod:
