RE: suggestions for udb

["Hoover, Tony" <hoover sal ksu edu>]

the UDB ( a.k.a. Multia ) is a complete computer ( Case, Power Supply, MB,
etc.) the noname ( a.k.a. AXP-PCI33 ) is a baby AT formfactor Motherboard.
The two are electrically similar ( both use the 21066 processor and similar
chipsets), however the UDB only allows one PCI card ( mounted parallel to
the MB) whereas the noname allows more PCI cards mounted conventionally
(perpendicular to MB).
The Multia was sold by DEC, the AXP-PCI33 was sold by Digital Semiconductor
( OEM channel ).
