I have just the power connectors (and S-100 sockets, of course!) on mine. Nothing else. It's been working fine with eight boards on it for a couple years now.
Altair 8800 CPU board
Mike's FP interface board
FDC+ board (64K RAM and floppy interface)
Altair 88-UIO board with serial and cassette interface
Altair 88-VI RTC interrupt/RTC board
Altair 88-C700 printer interface board
Two 88-2SIOJP serial boards
