Orginal daughter-board, or exented (3rd party) one ?
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Or you could try to get one of the 7xZ3-thingis, not much to gain
unless you got lots of cards (like mine  ;-) , but makes the whole mess
much easier to handle (cards hanging upsidedown are not my kind of cake).

@Red

Fitting the Prometheus in the top slot would probraly make the PCI-cards
with the CPU-card(and offcourse the drivebays).

No chance with my RBM-tower and the CS-MK1....

Easy ....

This is what you need:
2 PC-AT-Slots (the 100 pin ones for Zorro are hardto get).

2 PC-AT-cards (or one DEAD!!!! Zorro)

Cut the connector of the card(s), cut the AT-slots in a way to allow it to be
glued to one 100 pin slot. Solder the whole mess on what you had cut of from
the cards.

Sounds horriblle ? That's the way I made an A570 CD-ROM to work in
the Turbo-slot of my 1st A2000  :-o
