OK.  That would suggest that IFF the slots are being used by other
cards, I really don't need that in, and can free up one card slot,
if needed.  I need the last slot for one more card in the BA215 chassis.

Once I get everything tested out, and my BA213 cleaned up and repaired
it all will go back into the larger cabinet.  I will keep it in that
one, as a load, since I probably won't fill it out that far into the
left side of the bus.

Thanks
