Are there any hardware developers out there that are giving serious
consideration to marketing an above-Amiga expansion chassis that adds the 
functionality of a A2000 (2000-style card slots, PC bus, room for drives) 
to an existing A1000?

There are things I prefer about my Amiga that I would not want to give up,
such as the keyboard, composite output, Kickstart on disk, etc., but I would
also like to get the expandability of the 2000, and access to all the new
cards that are undoubtably forthcoming.  Also, I would like to have a few
more card slots than are being offered in the 2000.
 
I would love to throw money at someone who could offer such a product, and
I can't imagine that I am the only person that feels this way.

Other than some additional buffering, and new chassis, is there anything 
special that would have to be done to existing A1000 expansion boxes?
