	Is it possible/have they already made  an accelerator card that  uses
the buslines available on the VME/Atari (TT/mega)bus slots?  Like for instance 
a 68040 board that takes over the machine (I've seen stuff like that for the 
Mac and thought you might be able to do the same thing) and delegates the on
board cpu as an I/O handler (and other CPU wasting projects).  However, I could
be mistaken (_I_ don't use 'em, let alone build 'em), but would something like
that be possible for the TT?  Dave Small has already shown that it's possible
for the ST...:)
