Zorro III and PCI busboard

7× Zorro II/III slots - only 4 is DMA capable
2× extended video slots
3× PCI slots (cannot be accessed by the Amiga in any way)
2× ISA slots
1× PCI/ISA single board computer (SBC) slot

PC cards

the SBC slot can take any industrial all-in-one PC card, for example:
- Siliconrax SBC cards
- Pentitrator (offered by the US distributor, AntiGravity)
- Speedfire (offered by Eagle)
activates the PCI and ISA slots
an SBC card is not a BridgeBoard, it cannot use Amiga resources, it requires its own memory, graphics card, drives, etc.
Eagle and AntiGravity offered HiQ's Siamese system to integrate the Amiga and PC parts
