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
