| - | **A: **For this you need the Toshiba ISA expansion chassis. The expansion port is proprietary but apparently has all the ISA lines, DMA and IRQ, but uses a different connector. I was informed that the part numbers were 8800-040-170L-F and 8800-060-170L-F. These are stocked by RS Electronics, if you'd be interested to build an adapter. | + | **A: **For this you need the Toshiba ISA expansion chassis.
