If I remember rightly the CD slots have grant continuity, which means you
can have half height boards in position 1/2 without needing grant continuity
cards in position 3/4 to carry signals over to the next slot. Can't
rememember the M code for the GC card ATM; my VAXen are 10 minutes away from
here.
