they have taken a different approach to us with no connectors on card. 
this to me is a major win. in a blade enclosure you don't want the 
connectors anyway and on any other device, what is the probability that 
the connectors will be "in the right location"? close to zero.

what they don't have is a device which is in a robust enclosure. do we 
really, really think that people will be swapping cards between 
enclosures on an hourly basis? i think it is worth looking at the 
relative costs of the card and the devices. it would seem likely that 
people would have one card per device and only change the card when 
there was a major upgrade in the card capabilities.

but what do i know
