- Forget it. Don't even try it! It can't work. Look, this connector is
- basically directly connected to all the processor pins, no buffering
- for most of them. You are accessing all vital signals here, timing
- critical. Every millimeter of cable is a risk. It's *absolutely*
- impossible to extend this more than one or two inches (if you dare this
- at all).
