Northstar CPU Card in Regular S100 Bus?

I have a weird question. Could a Northstar MPU-A be used in a normal S100 bus
chassis with other cards to provide console, disk, i/o, memory functions?

If no, why not?

If yes, what issues can arise from doing this?

The reason I ask is that I have a nice clean empty TEI chassis, a Northstar CPU
cards, some memory boards, an SMB multifunction i/o card and a Disk Jockey
2D. I'm sure the thing would end up being fairly weird, but I don't care
about
that.

Just exploring ideas for misc hardware sitting around my basement.
