The old form factor probably doesn't fit in the new boxes, but otherwise
a bus adaptor would be SIMPLE to design, as the specs are very little
changed. Is there a market though for add-on boxes for A2000's to use the
'old' cards? Doubtful. I think that's one reason for no adaptor being
available. But that's no reason that someone couldn't design a kit for it.
( Maybe Byte-by-Byte has some spare PAL Jr boxes lying around. )

Also, don't forget the difference in prices in DEC-bus cards and Amiga cards!
(At least whoever buys my copy of AmigaDos can use it without paying CBM.)
