Can C610 be expanded like LC with Workstation?

Back in the old day, Macintosh LC had very limited space and was limited to either 2 dlsk drives (original LC) or 1 disk drive and 1 hard drive, no internal CD or other drive option.  And only 1 PDS slot.  MicroMac offered an option to expand the LC to add many more upgrade options. (I believe MicroMac still sells it)

And there's ways to add options to Macintosh that never intended to have in the first place like using dual PDS from a IIsi into a Mac SE/30

Was anything like this made for C/Q 610 or can something be hacked?  I would love a way to get dual PDS slot or PDS and Nubus slots.

No. As far as I know, nobody ever made a PDS to dual NuBus adapter, and if someone did, you'd need an extended case, like the one you pictured.

If you could run a second NuBus card, what would you use?

 
I still have my Video Spigot card.  It was a very cool thing to have back in the day, being able to run anything on Macintosh screen.

Since no adapter seems to exists, looks like I'd need a 650, 800, or 840av for the space.  Unless there's a schematic of PDS to nubus adapter somewhere and a way to hack in a PDS slot for a dual slot 610.
