Ah, OK. I was flicking through the BBoAH and the Derringer 030 looked
like it went on the trapdoor connector. I think I've already got a 1Mb
card in there, so that's sorted :)

Hmm, I know some 2000 CPU cards have onboard SCSI, but I guess if
everything is going onto the edge connector you wouldn't be able to
get all of CPU+HDD+Zorro?

Cheers though, I think that's satisfied my curiosity :)
