Hmm, good point. I was so convinced I had done a hardware no-no that I
didn't think about having tripped up on some latent VMS problem. I'd
still like to hear some voice (or PDF file...) of authority bless the
basic concept of putting a 533MHz CPU board in a box that originally
came with 400MHz ones, though.

won't get back to this for a few days...man I feel old all of a sudden...)
