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.
