The chassis expansion anthology for PowerMacs
Protools5LEGuy:
A more modern 6-slot chassis that as a + uses standar RJ45 cable. Seems made for them, again.
Probably CAT 5e, but I will research as it seems more probably needs a CAT 6 or 7
Seems like a Pentium III board with little RAM with a good onboard NET card as guest card. ICH5 is on the southbridge. Maybe industrial.
At that(2003-2004) later time Digidesign had Intel base for VENUE mixer and could force it manufacturer to made them something or maybe is a VENUE board repurposed...
The host is IntelPRO 1000 PT server adapter. I want MORE cards like this to have host on different machines...
IIO can you tell me what was the TC Electronic hack state? Now I have PCI slots... :)

Found a few more info on Expansion HD. Some good, some ugly...
You could buy a PCI or a PCIe card for the rack at the purchase time.
You can Hot-Swap the rack to different hosts.
It went market after OS9 transition and it is only docummented as compatible with +PT6 HD (Jaguar) and no way to know if it is OS9 compatible.
There are plenty of similar Intel Host cards on eBay or Wallapop from 15 bucks on PCIe, but cant find the PCI version.
PCI version was G4 compatible for Mac OS X. It is a well documented expansion rack to use ProTools HD-Core PCI cards on PCIe computers, but seems only compatible from protools HD6 to HD7. IIRC PT 8 wasnt compatible with those expansions racks or is an unsuported system. PT 8 HD needs iLok and the pirated one 8.0.4 has no support for chassis, left in the dust since 8.0.1(?)
