   Since the A1000 and A590 both have connectors located on the their right
sides, one could set the 590 on top of the 1000 and make a short jumper out
of ribbon cable with a twist in it.  86-pin edge connector on one end, 86-pin
edge (maybe cut from a prototyping card of any size >= 86pins) on the other.
Not too good for RF interference, but could be enclosed in a small box.
