IIRC the FPF11 (floating point board for the 11/23 and 11/24) has that
feature.
when that last
order was being placed, the production guys just
ordered more of what we'd been ordering rather than incur the expense
of a change.
That would've been really nice.
Some years ago I was given a box of mostly home-made grant cards. The
home-made ones turned out toe be dual-height prototyping boards with links
soldered between the pins. You can guess what I did with those :-)
