Not unless they don't bother to provide a version that includes a parallel
hardware expansion bus for devices like D/A, A/D converters, Digital
Oscilloscope boards, co-processors and the like.  In fact, if they
delivered one with a 16 bit wide bus and CPU interrupt lines, they'd
have IBM's P.C. bus beat by a mile.
