Okay, I just tried it in a junk 486 MB.  The only 8-bit slot it has would
allow the Trackstar board to interfere with the CPU, if it were installed.
Otherwise, it would fit okay.  I then tried the Trackstar in a 16-bit ISA
slot, and sure enough the Trackstar hangs down just a little to much.
However, it isn't that much.  I think I would consider trimming the back of
the 16-bit slotso the Trackstar would pass through.  I won't have to worry
about this, Though.  I am going to install mine in a PC.  It only has 5
8-bit slots!!

Does anybody know if the Trackstar needs a driver?
