The AT-onr that I know of was slapped between CPU and CPU-socket.

I think you had the KCS-Power-board in mind, XT-compatible with
768k of RAM. This one was only seen as "memory" for the A500, and one
could even use it as 512k expansion for the A500.

The only think that I don't know is wether it supported both addresses (for Chip
and "Ranger" mem).
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

Zorro1 (side connector on A1000/A500 and MMU-slot in A2000) is just an unbuffered
68000-bus.

Zorro2 is a buffered 68000-bus.

A1200-trapdoor is an unbuffered 68020-bus.
