Is there enough space?  As I recall a 2000 has only a VERY limited
clearance above the memory card, I don't think you could physically
fit a second one above it.  I'd be slightly more optimistic about
finding a board with more than 4MB on it (possibly an oddball 3rd
party board or a user-modified DEC board) rather than a second board.
