Ram,

   I missed the first part of this thread so I'm not sure exactly what
you're looking for. But I have some rack mount PCs that use a passive back
plane if that's what you're looking for. They have a 486 CPU on a plug in
card. The case, back plane and cardes are all made by Advantech. Contact me
directly if you're interested.
