If the T-S board doesn't cover the mouse ports (and it better not), it may
actually provide enough clearance that you don't have to use the SideCar
passthroughs. However, someone else has reported that you're not supposed to
be able to put >anything< between the Amiga and the SideCar (due to timing, I
guess), so they may simply be incompatible. Of course, SideCar has some sort
of Amiga slot it in — it's not clear if it's a full Zorro slot — but if it
is, it would be easy enough to extend it, to convert it back to a side-bus type
connector. Until the SideCar is readily available, and in the hands of
hardware hackers, we won't know what can be done… – Bela
