CSA has a new "turbo tower" (or something like that) that essentially duplicates
the A2000 bus slots and accepts the new form factor cards.  I'm not sure about
the PC compatibility stuff.

ASDG is working on something for the new form factor.  I'm not sure they've
come up with a final product configuration yet...
