Hi John

I'm thinking "pc/104->isa adapter and an isa post" was what you meant.

Eek. Noo! What about if you want to re-use the adaptor and test a 16 bit card ?
Can't you dremelise[0] the lower edge of the board to go over the CPU without
amputating 8 bits ?!

Have you got headroom to put a set of PC-104 plug/socket buss connectors
in between the two and another set of stand-offs (I may be misunderstanding
the topology of the problem here. If so, not to worry.)
