Abstract
In an adapter card having an attached daughter card, the adapter card is offset from its edge connector, such that the edge connector occupies one plane and the basecard occupies a parallel plane, thereby allowing the daughter card to attach to the basecard and occupy the same plane as the edge connector which allows the daughter card to use an I/O connector without violating the space envelope of the next basecard, and also allows a daughter card to be interchanged between systems with different packaging architectures.
