Depends... AG does also have VME doubler boards which have two VME slots. This
requires that the addresses of the different boards do not collide since VME
is NOT plug'n'pray. Another important point is that this solution is passive
so it may or may not work with different boards since Atari had chosen drivers
for the VME bus with too less output current (that's what I meant with 
'depends').
