If I go for option D, I don't think space will be a problem.
The device should fit both microdrive locations.

To those who prefer option D:

* How important would it be to keep an original microdrive functional?

* How important would be speed?

(To reach maximum speed, it is impossible to use the microdrive connectors 
for an SD-card device. A second board would be required, attached at a 
place where some of the 68008 bus is available. Higher costs, and might 
work for GoldCard/SuperGoldCard only.)

All the best
Peter
