The MTX series are ATX form-factor boards.  MTX have 3 PCI slots  and
the MTX+ have 7 PCI slots and 1 ISA slot.  My MTX is model variant
604-010A which has dual 300MHz MPC604e CPUs.  Other variations had
single MPC603 or MPC604 CPUs.

So, it's otherwise like an MVME4600--just without the Universe chip or
VME connectors and it mounts in an ATX-PC case (except the rear panel,
which isn't laid out like any PC cover panels).
