You expect a kit to work when you build it.  The A2630 daughterboard was 
enough to act as a proof of concept for the daughterboard mechanism, but it
was hardly complete to the point where your average hardware hacker could
sit down and build it from a set of plans.  The one prototype worked, though
slowed down from the original intent, and only 12MB out of 16MB worked, due
mainly to noise problems.
