- You cannot daisy chain modules which contain bus slots. Too many
- connectors in the signal path.

- Differing from an earlier post of mine, I have to admit that there are
- indeed situations where you could stack several modules, but only such
- modules containing more passive stuff, like drive bays, or a monitor,
- or some other peripherals. For a backplane type board with slots though,
- I only see the possibility for one single piece in such a setup.
