I tried to start a discussion earlier on
QL forum about
QL backplanes, and asked people to send photos of their systems and tell me
how they used them, and what factors made their decisions... I got a very
poor response of zero to th

request. :)
I have decided I phrased the question too
I no longer use a QL with a back-plane - when I did have that set up it was to
use an Aurora, Super Gold Card and QubIDE in a PC Tower Case.
I also liked to have a spare slot for access to a QEP III for example (although
I never had one at the time)...
The main issue now is that ATX cases (for
I have put some thought into how cards would be supported. Given my access
to 3D printers, I can do quite fancy things with ease now. :)
I am inclined to use a microATX or picoATX case - they're small, easy to
access and quite cheap.

I once had a kind of Mini-PC case, where I fitted a powersupply, an issue 5
board and a kind of backplane (with 6 plugs), unpowered with a separate left
whole in the case to plug a QEP III into it (connected with a separate
cable). The backplane was fitted with an SQB 513k plus an QFlash 64k
It's not an issue for capacitors. Even when you bypass the voltage
regulators on the QL and expansion cards, the smoothing capacitors on
either side of the regulators are still in play.
