With the Model 2102 PCI Expansion Unit ($995), you can transparently add seven 32-bit PCI slots to a host computer. The unit supports throughput to 132 MBps and zero-wait-state burst operations. The mini-tower-style cabinet contains an eight-slot PCI motherboard, a PCI backplane controller card that plugs into one of the eight backplane slots, expansion bays for three 3-1/2-inch and two 5-1/4-inch peripherals, a 250-W power supply, and a 115-/230-V input line-voltage switch.
