- Artecon (1-800-USA-ARTE) makes an SBus expansion chassis. (Actually,
- they make several.) According to their latest catalog, the 3 Slot
- Master/Save SMARTBox (which also holds 2 3.5" devices) is listing at
- $1,995. The 6 Slot (w/o any room for 3.5" devices) also lists for
- $1,995. Another $400 on either buys you onboard SCSI/Ethernet as well.

- I've got one of their Seagate 429M disk kits in my SS1, and it runs
- great. Others I know like their stuff, too. A bit costly, but
- well-built. I've had no experience w/the SBus stuff, however.
