My /37 has all five slots filled. The CPU, 2 HP-IB cards, memory, and the
serial card with 6 ports.
When I had the case open, I noticed a bus connector just behind the front
panel. There is a cutout in the chassis above the connector where a ribbon
cable could be passed to another backplane. I guess you could stack another
chassis on top of this one.
