Here's my wish list for the IIsi:

An accelerator, '030 or '040, that occupies the "adapter board"'s space, and
has a processor direct ( or Nubus) slot which would enable the user to still 
add video, ethernet, etc.

Multi-function boards:
    ethernet + video (24 bit, preferably)
    ethernet + television input
    video + television input
    etc...
    etc...

And my question....
 Everyone knows about the IIsi's severe power limitations.  Suppose you did
NOT plug the monitor into the cpu (turn everything on from, say, a power 
protector).  Would that make more power avilable for usage by that precious
single slot?

Comments?  Ideas?  Let me know, email or posting, I don't care.
