- No. The only way is to have a bridgeboard. There is a PD project for a
- passive bridgeboard which allows you to access ports on PC interface
- cards (but no RAM, thus also no VGA). It's named Golden Gate (don't
- confuse this with the commercial real bridgeboard), but sorry I forgot
- the creator of this.
