	I can probably safely say that I would definitely be a customer for
such a box, assuming that the price is better than the difference between
selling by A1000 and buying an A2000. But how are you going to pull out all
the special slots, such as the CPU slot, and the video slot? Can you really
duplicate the AT and XT slots? Will a Bridge card work? I know nothing of
the Zorro slot definition - is everything you need really coming out the
side of an A1000? Or will there have to be some kind of internal connections?
