Hello!  I have an old Zorro I expansion box on my A1000 and I'd like to
purchase the Microbotics HardFrame disk controller card which is Zorro II.
Now, the form factor of this card is such that it will fix into my Zorro I
box (it's a 1/2-card).  My question is:  Does it have any chance of working
in my Zorro I box?  I know there were some changes in the buss signals but I
haven't a clue as to how extensive they were.

Could anyone who's knowledgable about the two busses be so kind as to help
me out?  I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket. :-)  Thanks!
