Can an Indigo be upgraded to Indigo2 retaining the original box,
chassis etc and just swapping boards? Of course without EISA.
The question is "in principle", i.e. not related to the present
offerings.  For example, can Extreme graphics reside in a normal
Indigo.

Thanks

I doubt it. The Indigo^2 has a completely different chassis, power
supply, cooling, and more slots; some of this extra space & cooling is
required for Extreme graphics.
