update: bare backplane



Thanks to you all for responding to my original query on who offers a
bare pci backplane.

Guess what:  I've found only DEC offers something close!  And it was only
http://www.picmg.com/bplane.htm  that had the URL to it.  Annabooks appeared
to be useless for this.  

The DEC product is called the new "Kalahari" model from the OEM group, 
p/n ETMXB-BB (it's still got some ISA on it), incl. an SBC slot, DEC bridge 
chip 21052 rev2.0 (upgrading to 21152)...

Galileo Technology, Vector Electronic, MAGMA all don't have what I need.

Anyway, the DEC item appears to NOT have a VIO connector, which would enable me
to put 3.3v on VIO.  It's a 5v signal environment-only backplane.

So,.....,  the question still stands:


      who in the world makes a pci passive backplane with 
      64-bit (short card), universal expansion slots (to handle
      3.3v signalling) ??


(Desire testing to 66MHz, too)
