Oh, sure.  Their 205 is sold in three basic versions: 1 vector pipe, 2 vector
pipes or 4 vector pipes.  Only they do not produce machines with 1 vector
pipe.  So if a site buys a 205 with 1 vector pipe, he gets one with 2 plus
a switch that is set to 1 pipe.
Alas, when booting the system, it requires the mode to be set to 2 pipes...
