<grin>  No, source of confusion is far more fundamental than that -- have
two such machiines here.  *Tested* machine 1, *examined* machine 2!
(Of course, machine 2 is the one missing the chip).   <:-(

So, my question still stands -- can I steal the GX out of a cg6 SBUS card
or am I better off installing the card *in* the LX chassis?  I.e. is there
any difference between the "onboard cg6" and an "SBUS cg6" (besides
the fact that the SBUS card "costs" me a slot and some extra power...)?
