Bah. The A1000 has a well-engineered, auto-config Zorro bus hanging off the side. Memory was meant to be added there, not riding on the back of the CPU, etc. From an engineering perspective, the Spirit board is a nightmare.

I like a machine to look "expanded." Makes it feel more of a system to me. I love having my Starboard w/ 2MB and SCSI on the side.

Now, it can be taken to an unsightly extreme, I do confess...
