Hi,

a port adaptor jacket card [2] for the 7200's that let you stick a =
normal interface card into the I/O controller slot (instead of the I/O =
controller itself).

be subject to the same limitations as the PA-GE.
On a 7206VXR it shows:
PCI bus mb0_mb1 (Slots 0, 1, 3 and 5) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth =
points.
PCI bus mb2 (Slots 2, 4, 6) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth points.
Slot 0 is the I/O module, so it seems to share the same limitations.
