        Re:   IBM PC Bus Extension
                
    It seems that a BUS extension unit (non-IBM product) is available for the
    IBM PC.  Perhaps this will alleviate the 5-slot problems.  Does anyone know
    of the details of the bus extension unit?

See TecMar Inc.'s ad on page 83 of the new (ie. March 1982) issue of
BYTE magazine.  The TecMate(Tm) is a seven slot expansion cabinet with
full bus support, matched IBM PC styling, heavy duty power supplies,
convenience outlets to power printers or monitors, and built in
provision for a 5 inch Winchester hard disc drive.  The preceding
sentence was a quote from TecMar's literature packet.  The November 1981
price list quotes a price of $795.- for the expansion cabinet.  A whole
slew of other items in the TecMate(tm) series exists.
