	How about a AT bus half card, with 20MHz 286, up to 4MB ram,
	2 serial, 1 parallel, floppy and hard disk controllers and
	watch dog timer?  Try
		TEKNOR Microsystems Inc
		PO Box 455
		Sainte-Therese (Quebec), Canada J7E 4J8
		1(514)437-5682
		fax (514)437-8053
	(I've only seen their ads, never used the product.)

	Also, Ampro now has about 3 form factors: 5 1/4 floppy size,
	a AT bus card, and a "mini-module".
