No, you're quite correct, and I've even said that myself… bus extension or a
cable… it's just that you need 32 bits, right? that means a _change_, right?
Well, what have the idiots over at cbm done EVERY time there was a change?
(Zorro I, Zorro II, A1000, A500, B2000) ? They changed, incompatibly, the
busses physical and/or electrical and/or autoconfig definition. Egendering
endless admiration from developers each time. Sphere, huh? You old 6800 hacker,
you! Anyway, sure it could be done compatibly — what makes you think they know
what the word means? And I know they did a great job of software compatibility,
before we go through that… but it doesn't make the hardware any better.
