I have a 2 Meg memory board I bought from a friend (it was a beta
board, no enclosure) and it does not pass through the 86 pin edge
connector.  I now have a Live! and have a need to hook up both
the memory board and the Live! at the same time, but both want to
be on the end of the daisy-chain.  The question is, can I simply
wire up a pass-through 86 pin connector to the memory board?  It has
exposed pins and a male edge connector could be soldered up and I
could attach the Live! to it.

I am wondering if there would be problems with power supply or number
of devices driven, etc.  If this sounds okay, I need to know the 
spec of the male connector--I guess it is 86 pins, but I'm not sure
if there is a contact width spec I need (and where do you get such
things?  Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale?).

Thanks in advance for recommendations--please send mail for answers.

Paul
