	So, any rumours of a daughterboard for the A2630? There is certainly
	a few of them out there... [aren't there?] Are there any manufacturers 
	skeptical of the potential market that I could lean on?

	How difficult would it be to build? Is it something that requires a
	lot of additional logic or is it relatively simple?

	Help me put my mind at ease.

Happy owner of a A2630,
