The COMM slot / contains all the signals of a regular PCI slot / one could plug an adapter into the COMM slot (just wires, no circuitry) to route the PCI signals to a standard PCI connector so that one could plug a third PCI card into the COMM slot.
Well now, that is itself quite interesting }
plus some serial bus signals
Is an extra serial port possible via the Comm Slot then?
convert that slot to cardbus or make it mini PCI
That would certainly open up some interesting possibilities.
Umax's C600 / With it's three PCI slots *AND* a comm slot, it suggests that there are REQ/GNT, interrupts, and ROM resources for what amounts to four PCI slots.
Unless Umax edited the Apple ROMs.
The Apple Network Server uses the same chipset and one of its Bandit chips has six PCI devices attached.
Am I right in recalling that the 9500 has two Bandits? Does that suggest a 12-PCI-slot 9500 is possible?
Anyone know if the PM6400 and PM6500 riser cards are interchangeable?
Yes.
They're also interchangeable with the single slot risers from the 54/5500, if that's any help to you.
