Other lunch pail types with multiple slots are Dolch and PC Brand. The Dolch has been a regular PC Mag Editor's Choice. We have a 386/25 and it's really nice. Expensive though (>$10K). You can get an expansion chassis that brings then number of free slots up to 6. More than a DeskPro. The base system has 2 long and one short free. I think all are 16 bit. I was under the impression the NEC portables had proprietary slots. I'm in the market for a clamshell type 386 with one slot. The only one I've found is the Toshiba. Unfortunately, I can't buy one with government money because of the unfortunate submarine prop incident. -- Marshall L.
