Is it true that the IBM slots in the 2000 really are a passive backplane?
If so, would it be possible to use a PC-on-a-card and drop it in?

Advantages:
	Less expensive (maybe?)
	You could use a '386 card
Disadvantages:
	No explicit connection between Amiga & "Iso-card" (it's not
		a bridge, it's isolated)
	Requires addition of video card
	WHERE TO PUT KEYBOARD?  (I think this is a killer)
