vice slots, a five-connector PCI/ISA backboard, and four expansion slots. The expansion slots
include three ISA slots and one shared PCI/ISA slot. For network configurations, one slot has a
network board installed and the three remaining slots are empty. For multimedia configurations,
one slot has a sound board installed and the three remaining slots are empty. All other configura-
tions ship with the slots empty.
The storage device slots can accommodate a 3 1/2-inch diskette drive, a 3 1/2-inch hard disk (1-

two accessible 5 1/4-inch storage device slots available for optional devices. The multimedia sys-
