Actually, the SuperMac/UMAX S900 is a strange beast - its dual 
processor support is on two separate daughtercards, with a short 
cable connecting them. In addition, to get six PCI slots, they used a 
PCI-PCI bridge chip, rather than two separate PCI-to-system bus 
interfaces. If that's not enough, there's the Umax e100 Ultra SCSI 
and 10/100 Ethernet combo board, which goes in exactly one slot, 
because there is an extra connector...
