Naturally, you'll most likely be resource (IRQ, I/O, Memory addresses, etc) and slot constrained before you hit any limits in the OS.

I don't know of a hard limit.  Naturally, you'll most likely be resource
(IRQ, I/O, Memory addresses, etc) and slot constrained before you hit any
limits in the OS.

Just as a matter of information, I've seen a Windows NT installation with eight
(8) DE500 Fast Ethernet adapters.
