Definitely -- that's a nice board. I've noticed it's not going to work
reliably in any memory slot but the last one on the KN03 baseboard --
there is a small IC (a PAL?) next to it -- perhaps it provides support
specifically for the NVRAM board. I don't know if it's true for the KN02
board as well.
