I was wondering if it would make sense for someone to build a connector
which would use the Portable's slot to connect to an External NuBus    
configuration. That way, one could use the Mac Portable as a data
collector, but when you were at a desk, you could use it to run with
other cards. Is this feasible (ie. what's the transfer speed, does the
NuBus need 68030 to perform resonalbly, anything else I might have
overlooked ??)

Just wondering,
Pascal
