A 6-slot version of this backplane is also available: SC702

This backplane includes 12 sockets for RCBus compatible modules. It also has a horizontally mounted backplane extension plug and socket.

The horizontal socket allows the connection of a backplane extension section or an RCBus module. Horizontal mounting of a module can be useful when debugging hardware or developing ROM-based software.

The horizontal plug allows this backplane to extend RCBus modular backplanes.
