There is no slot on the Newertech upgrade card, that cable is soldered. ;-)
Ooooh, right. That I did not know.

NewerTech had a lot of trouble with that flat flex connector.
Ah, that would explain why they later moved to a socketed passthrough - that and consolidating on a single upgrade card for the whole x100 line. Even then, IIRC, the earliest cards with the socket were not guaranteed to work with an HPV/AV card.
