Lots of computers had them. One slot that is meant for a riser card,
carries PCI and ISA signals(and an ISA card will plug and run in it
without a riser). The board I liked is the Intel RU430HX because it is 8
inches square, has onboard video(S3 Virge) and Yamaha audio, plus all the
usual ports. Some versions of it have USB also. The audio is very good
quality. Takes Socket 7 Pentiums. You can find them new still, from
closeout dealers for about 15 or 20 $US.

I plan to make one into a player for my wife's car. I have a USB ethernet
adapter so I can update it without needing any cards, so the whole package
can be 9 inches or less square by 2 inches high.

I'm working on a web page to describe all this, I'll put code and
schematics there too.

Cheerful regards,

Bob Blick
