EEK! 8-o That looks like a worst case scenario for your hack unless AVID used that same LoBo with adapter cards for a box on the end of a cable and all the necessary line boost is built into your LoBo. However, it makes way more sense for them to have put the cable drivers on the two adapter cards.

That setup looks like it's an add-on for use with a second board (not necessarily identical at that) to fill an 8 Slot Expansion Box. :-/

Does that jumper board (analogous to the HPV adapter cables for NuBus G3 accelerators) even have enough center to center offset to give you room to use it with the end slot of the 950 MoBo?

Doesn't look it, that'd be a very bad sign if so. If that's a Metric CrapLoad of SMT termination for Slot 8, that could be an even worse scenario for your plans. Worse than that, if the keying of the EuroDIN connectors is the reverse of the 950 . . .
