A number of "industrial" computers have lots of slots.  We're currently using
a system with 15 slots.  Typically,  these systems have a passive backplane.
What is on the motherboard in ordinary PCs comes on a card in these systems.
There are several vendors and a couple of companies that actually make
these systems.
