I think this is the same as my Pacific Cypress (the company changed names, several times) box, and the slot is supposed to be some kind of Zorro, but it doesn't look long enough for Zorro II cards. The owner of the local computer store told me that he was never able to get anything to run reliably in the 2nd slot of these boxes, so I have not tried. If anyone knows different, I would like to hear about it, my 1000 needs a hard disk, It would be nice to put an inexpensive SCSI controller in that 2nd slot, if such a thing existed. >Thanks, >- Manuel -- Phil Nelson @ BT North America Inc.
