Well, that's going to up the cost; for some people, that might be an issue. Also, I dunno if there are people out there with table-top 11/15's-20's (they did exist BITD, I worked with a table-top one), but for them, an additional box might be a hassle too. > That's assuming of course that the power requirements for the MEM11 > can be fulfilled by a single SPC slot. ... in the worst case, it may > require splitting the MEM11 functionality across multiple boards. I guess I don't see the harm in making it two SPC (quad) boards? A flat cable or two to connect across (I dunno how extensive the interconnect requirements between the halves would be, and I have forgotten what the inter-slot interconnect capabilities of an SPC backplane are - ISTR that it has some bussing on the F section pins) would be easy and cheap.
