I know all computers are essentially single-board, but the ones I have in mind are systems like those from APPRO International. They can put 2 PCI-based Pentium 120s in a single rack mounted enclosure and I want to make sure they can run either FreeBSD and/or BSDI. BTW, there is another company who thinks they can do a segmented PCI bus that lets me put 4 or 5 single board PCs, each with fast-SCSI and ethernet, all in the same enclosure! I don't know yet if they can actually do this. I know other vendors can do this but they do it by segmenting an ISA bus, not PCI. Any experiences would be welcome. -csw
