Like my iMac G3, excepted for the keyboard and the mouse, the rest is
integrated and really hard to replace/upgrade

So, if it may not be possible, this is not the point. I wonder the
following thing : can we route the PCI channel through an other
channel ?
A converter or an adaptater like in an external hard-disk (IDE to USB),
thus, something like PCI to Ethernet.
By this way, the computer would have two Ethernet connectors, one for
the screen, one for the network and not necessarly a PCI slot inside.
(And if one can or has to plug the keyboard and mouse on the screen,
that will be good)
Is it possible ?
