Well I want to use my dos card, in conjunction with my 840av,

So I was thinking of giving my 840av a little friend, Which I would network with my 840av & connect them both as to power up at the same time.

What would be my best choice? I want something as small as possible & somthing which can use the dos card.

An old lc case(pizza box)?
or just hack a new case?

What would be the smallest motherboard?

What kind of DOS card are you referring to?
From memory, there was 1 for the Centris/6100, one for the LC 630, one for the 4400/7220 and one for the PCI Powermacs.
These last two were not called "DOS compatibility cards" but rather "PC compatibility" Plus there was one by Radius (which I have but haven't got it to work yet) and the Orange Micro series of course.
Therefore the LC pizza box case wont be any good.

mini-itx.com - the most powerful "DOS card" available for a 68k mac ... just add one inside your case (be it pizza or whatever) with a KVM switch ... perfect
