Ok,

The company that I work for (Husky - makers of rugged PC's) will probably
shoot me for this email mentioning their competitors, but the simple fact is
that we do not have space for PCI / ISA expansion cards in our form factors
- we do have 4 PCMCIA card connectors on one of our products thou if that's
any use. If so see:-

http://www.husky.co.uk

Otherwise for ruggedized laptop products check out

Itronix:-

Panasonic,

Also check Intermec (can't remember if they're any good)

http://www.intermec.com

There are others - I just haven't got time to think of them at the moment

regards,

Steve Lawther
