Hmmm, this must be respond to Matt day 8-).

Sliding the connector around the periphery of the case does *not* alter the
relative sense of the pin-numbering.  All one needs is an extender card about
an 1.5" long and little jack-stands for the keyboard.  If the device in
question is parasitic powerwise, you may need to supply external power.

Devices that obey the rules in the Amiga Expansion Architure document should
work.  Those that make unclean asumptions or ignore the worst-case timing
specifications may have problems, as they occasionally do on production A1000's.
