Can any MVS board be equipped with a memory card reader?

Me gotz a question.

I have a 2-Slot board in my possession that is *supposed* to have the MC reader attached but doesn't. Before I get responses stating that one of the three 2-Slot revisions does NOT have a memory card reader, this is not one of those PCBs. This particular unit actually has a spot for it (including all solder points/pre-drilled holes). It is lacking the (2) IDE interconnect sockets that are present on the "readerless" 2-Slot PCB. I can shoot some pictures of this unit later.

back to my question:

Anyways, since the MC reader only uses 30 or so active lines (the rest are ground), can, say a MV1A be wired with the memory card reader? How about the 1C? Or the 1B? Or do the boards that are *capable* of interfacing with the MC reader (2-Slot/4-Slot/6-Slot) have special circuitry?

Thanks,
Kpj

I have had that board in my possesion before...

Had the spot for the Memory Card Reader, just no pins.....

I would think that it would work if you took the pins off of an AES....

Or you could probably solder a memory card into that place.... Have a built in Memory card.

Does yours have not headphone Jacks? The on I had had the places for them, but they were never soldered on.
