	It seems to me that the designers of the right expansion bus had 
in mind stuff being connected to the right-side of the amiga, not the top.
I for one see no problem with that. 

	As for your last comment, you're completely unrealistic (obviously
your not an Electrical Engineering Major!).  I doubt you could have a ribbon
cable more than a couple of feet long before signal degradation causes it to
become unusable.  

	Also, it would *really* have to be shielded or it would never get FCC
approval.  I think the only way commodore's going to get that is if they
snuggle sidecar right up against the right side!  (I haven't seen sidecar,
anybody on the net want to comment?)
