In the Sparcstation 330 with GX colour board, it is possible to insert a
double high (6U) VME board in slot 2 ie. the one which has the monitor
cable socket on the front panel. This is because the processor board only
intrudes into the corner diagonally opposite the P1 and P2 connectors.
This means that the 330 GX has 4 usable spare VME slots.  Does this also
apply to slot 2 on the Sparcstation 370 GX and the 3/470 GX?

Any comments on the advisability of doing this?
