I have a Low Profile ZIF socket, stuck into my 40pin socket on my GS
motherboard that I use for accelerator testing (I havn't bothered doing
the desoldering/soldering bit yet).  Although this makes Slot #2
useless and encumbers #3, its a versitile way to do accelerator work
when I know I'm going to be doing a lot of "card yanking".
