  NLX
  
     <hardware, standard> A low-profile, low TCO motherboard
     design created jointly by Intel Corp., IBM, DEC and
     other PC vendors.  In contrast to the traditional single-board
     design, NLX uses a riser card to carry PCI, ISA and
     AGP bus data (despite Intel's stated intent to rid PC
     motherboards of the ISA bus by 2000).
  
     Version 1.2 of NLX is the final specification, and was frozen
     in March 1997.  Minor modifications appear in the form of
     "Engineering Change Requests".
