:-), I deserved that.

I was originally thinking a pin header, to which a second PCB could be 
attached, such that the two PCBs were parallel, and the second one sat 
under the MPI PCB, making for a clean low profile design. The second PCB 
could be as long as the MPI (well, almost), giving plenty of space for 
connectors and such.

Using a 40 pin edge connector is not ideal, since you'd probably want 
all of the "peripherals" on this second PCB to be individually 
selectable, which implies multiple scs/cts/cart signal lines.
