I made a rather large technical post on the VME capabilities of the MEGA STE
and TT machine a while back.

However, a german company makes an extended card cage for the TT/MEGA STE
and VME cards for graphics and cpu accelerators.  It was shown at the last
CeBit show, I think.

So yes, you can have more than one card with the addition of an external
cage.

However, don't expect to see anything like that here in the US. :(
