Wondered about that myself, but decided it best that SCSI->Anything should be atop the chassis. Especially when SD is involved. as you won't really wanna have to be pulling the mobo/accelerator to change out media, no?
Better to provide a PDS passthreu for use above the deck as well I think. Gotta count pins, I'm getting 64, which isn't a full PDS, but it only needs 1bit addressing for Video I think?
Width's available for a full passthru, but keeping thruholes pin compatible as an extended MagicBus connection would be the way to go I think.
I also think that the footprint of the TPD card is far in excess of anything anyone will be developing. LOL!
