I'm using a Zeta XT board in some embedded applications.  The PC board is only
marginally larger than the space needed for the 8 slots.  It runs at 9 mhz
and uses the Faraday single chip XT ASIC.  It has hardware support to 
make the remainder of 1 MB RAM into EMS and optionally a ram-drive.

It is especially nice for embedded applications because it has an empty
27256 EPROM socket that maps to F0000.  I'm using Annabooks' PromKit
which makes a bootable ROM image of a disk, and the driver code fits
nicely in this socket where it is discovered by the rom-scan during 
POST.

Zeta is a Far Eastern company.  I have no distributor information.  I buy
mine for $90 in single piece quantity from Austin Electronics here in 
Atlanta. (404) 449 8697.

If you need REAL small boards, you might want to look at the WildCat format
boards (2" X 4")
