That's interesting. 

Seems to me, the easier way to do this would be a little ROM only board
with drivers that would look for the A2090. Such a board would take a
whole expansion slot. Daughter boards are always nasty and you wouldm't
want users attaching them anyway.

This is, of course, entirely hypothetical. :-)
