And probably not work...  The crosstalk between wires, the changes in
inductance and capacitance, would probably make a right mess out of the
whole bus, never mind the card on a cable extender.

Back in the ISA days, it wasn't unusual to see a daughterboard that
plugged a series of ISA cards into one socket.  I've got an old
low-profile 486 PC that did that to place the cards parallel to the
motherboard.  But that's a straight card, with simple track design,
inside the box, on a lower speed bus.
