For info, the daughter board from Payload Computers comes with TWO slots and
a clock.  One slot is the normal one, that would be placed so the the card 
would show out the back of the computer (a full size slot, I beleive). 
The other slot is a 1/2 size which is internal to the 148.  It can be used
for a Hard Drive controller card or any other card that does not need
access to the outside world.

Hope that this sheds some more light on the subject.
