Actually I had a PS2/25 here and while the number of slots were limited
I did put a 420meg hard disk(using a ISA-8 to IDE adaptor board) and a
14.4 modem in it for a friend and there was two slots left. It was
tiny. When she retired it for a 386 I took the motherboard out and used
the PS and the disks for a SB180 systemwith a scsi disk. It's form factor
was just right. Now the disks are 3.5" 782k cpm/qd format and the 20mb
scsi disk has a home in keeping with the 7"x3" sb180 (z180, 256k ram,
scsi) board. Nice little CP/m (zcpr) system.

I kept the M25 board as it's a pretty sane 8086 xt-turbo board.
