Probably not. Or, to be more precise, if one exists, it probably would not fit
inside a PB case. LPX motherboards, as used by PB and others, did conform to a
loose standard. But riser cards need only satisfy the requirement to fit the
EISA-like slot on an LPX motherboard. The positioning of the slots relative to
the base of the notherboard varied from brand to brand, and, of course, the
slots had to line up with the chassis... Ben Myers
