Since Al answered the first part, I'll offer the additional insight that
any card extender that's passive should work as long as the number of pins
is the same. (An active extender for a different bus could be a problem
since the signals likely wouldn't be the same.)

On a related note, if anyone has a passive card extended that fits in a
G-80 backplane that you want to get rid of, let me know. I'd like to have
one for my little hacking projects...
