Yes, but the CD slots *are* bussed together.

I still can't find a single signal between the KA630 CPU board and the
pair of MS630 memory boards that is not bussed straight through between all
three cards. Other than the bus grant on the A/B Qbus connectors, which
AFAIK doesn't enter into memory addressing in any way.

So I *still* don't understand how it works.
