SLC S-bus expansion ?

[Gil Tene]

Another question about Sun's new SLC :

I understand that the SLC's CPU board has one S-bus slot, which is
occupied by the monochrome frame buffer. This makes S-bus board addition
impossible... or does it?

I have read of at least one company (AMAX) which makes S-bus to S-bus
expansions, the AMAX product is supposed to give you 4 S-bus slots, and
needs one S-bus slot to connect into...

Now, If you get an SLC, take out the frame buffer, hook up this S-bus
expansion, and stick the frame buffer in the expansion box, you will have
3 s-bus slots free, to use for DSPs, Memory, Serial/Parallel and whatever
you wish....

Other than the bother of getting the cables in and out of the monitor,
does anyone see a problem with this?

Does anyone know more details about s-bus expansion boxs (price,
connection method, size, etc.) ?
