Great...

Aha... that was the missing piece... having one of the boards on an
extender... it all makes sense now...

I actually seem to remember another one somewhere in my collection,
I'll have to check someday to see if it is...
>I've got an extra set of them too plus a cache. No spare FP11 tho. Notice

Yep... :-)
