Ah, OK.... so, 2 "Mini PCI" slots, occupied by (respectively) an 
Asus-proprietary tuner card and an Asus-proprietary 802.11b card.  No info on 
either of those cards, though my guess would be that the tuner is a HW-MPEG 
encoder as well.  Neither slot, it seems, is accessible from the outside 
(i.e., no backplates).  The OS appears to be WinXP, but all other software is 
Asus (i.e., not WInXP-MCE).
