Hi Will,

Q-bus right? The module handles should be mounted the same as a 'normal'
card, and the grant card goes in with the same orientation.

If it's a baby grant card (2"x2" or so), compare the traces to those on
a normal card (the memory for example). The normal card should have
jumpers for the same pin (perhaps with one broken for the card to use).
Install the grant card into the same slot, with the same orientation to
jumper the same pins.

PS I might have some RK05 stuff, but I'm going out of town. I'll check
when I get back next weekend.
