Mitsuba's VIP System-90MHZ, the Hertz P90, and Dyna Micro's Dyna System 590 offer the flexibility of VL-Bus and PCI local-bus expansion slots in ISA-based designs. These were the only systems that provided both these local-bus options. The VIP System-90MHZ has two VL-Bus and two PCI slots and one shared PCI/8-bit ISA slot (a total of five local-bus slots); it also has two 16-bit ISA slots. The Dyna System 590 is designed with two VL-Bus and three PCI slots and one shared PCI slot (a total of six local-bus slots). These systems would be excellent choices for anyone who has already invested in VL-Bus adapter cards and wishes to migrate to PCI.

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
