"If they change Zorro again (and they had better, if this is a 32 bit
machine…)"
Why had they "better"? Nothing wrong with defining another set of connectors
over there <pointing beyond the Zorro bus) and keeping Zorro, is there? Sorta
like an AT bus. That way, Zorro doesn't change, you could run a 16 bit card in
a 32 bit machine 16 bits wide, and so on.
If you wanted to get really tacky, you could go Sphere-ish and run a ribbon
across the top of the 32 bit boards.
But no, I can't see why they'd "better" change Zorro for 32 bits. What am I
missing?
