The IPC is bw2.

Yes.  One box had a double wide CG6 (defective).

Classic is also cg3 -- it is essentially a slower version
of the LX.

But, the gist of my question was info on the plates used to
plug up the holes in the rear panel when a slot is unused...

That only gives me *one* I/F.  I was looking for NICs that
"would let me turn boxes into small routers..."  :>

FWIW, I am running them with 10Base2 xceivers plugged into
the AUI's currently.

>The LX has 10baseT as standard.

It also has an AUI via the MII connector.  But, again, that
only gives me *one* interface... still need an SBUS card
to get a second I/F!  :-(
