I don't believe you can get extra PDS type slots; their expansion
cabinets are mostly for NuBus kinds of things.

One of the things I like best is that the small cabinet has the same
footprint as a compact mac, while the large cabinet has the same
footprint as a Mac II/Mac IIx/Mac IIfx.  And in addition to the power
supply, there is also mounting stuff for 1 to 3 disk drives depending
upon whether you get the small or large cabinet.  

Finally, the expansion chassis itself is independent of what model of
Mac you have; thus, if you change Macs, all you have to do is get a
new card and you can continue to use all of the things you've attached
to your expansion chassis.

The company actually is:
     Second Wave, Inc.
     9430 Research Blvd
     Austin, Texas
     (512) 343-9661

Note that I've no affiliation with this company and I'm not even a
customer.  I have however spoken with Niles Carter several times about
their products and I am quite impressed with both the company and the
products.
