Yes, it's called an "expansion chassis"  ;^).

Seriously, I am just getting ready to start on this very project.  Soon
I should have a fairly simple procedure outlined with some sources listed
for parts.  The one item that may be hardest to find is a good (cheap) box
that can be easily cut to provide access for the port on the side, and also
for any cables/power lines in the back.  It would need to be about the
size of a typical zorro card, and I need to make a provision for killing
EMI emmissions.

I hope to get started on this RSN ;^)  (I've been thinking about it for
a long time).  Once I get the project done I'll post the info on it.
