I just teared a cf shielding off, and noticed that after
soldering off the connector, it would well fit in the place of
the rom board. I'm not quite sure about the amount of wires we'd
have to draw, but the connectors would be near each other and
there's even some place to fit the wires. If not, then I'd go
for dremeling the smartcard-slot :)

This might end up with eg. the Epsons display chip interfering 
with the cf, so ofcourse it would be good to cover the cf with
tinfoil or something that'd shield it.
