As far as I know, every NPE out there works with every I/O board.

You have to be careful about NPE<->chassis combination (non-VXR take only
up to NPE-225, VXRs take only NPE-225 and higher).

Maybe both got fried for some weird reason (I once had a Cat5509 that
managed to fry the bus interface for both supervisors and a line card
simultaneously - if the line card was in, nothing would work at all.
Without it, the supervisors would boot up, but then report errors
accessing all *other* line cards.  Had much fun).
