Eric,

It might be possible since we can configure most of the lines leading
to the 96 pin connectors though the FPGA (OZY) and the CPLD (JANUS).
A change in sex of one of the right angle 96 pin connectors will allow
the two boards to plug in... I would have to think some more about
whether we could get everything to match up this way though...too
early...gotta go...
