OK, this is related but different. Been trying to figure this out for a
while:

sh diag 0

SLOT 0  (RP/LC 0 ): Route Processor
   MAIN: type 19,  800-2427-02 rev C0
         Deviation:  D006289
         HW config: 0xFF    SW key: FF-FF-FF
   PCA:  73-2170-06 rev B0 ver 3
         Design Release 1.4  S/N CAB0424A1GX
   MBUS: MBUS Agent (1)  73-2146-07 rev B0 dev 0
         HW version 1.2  S/N CAB04239Z4A
         Test hist: 0xFF    RMA#: FF-FF-FF    RMA hist: 0xFF
   DIAG: Test count: 0xFFFFFFFF    Test results: 0xFFFFFFFF
   FRU:  Linecard/Module: GRP=
         Route Memory: MEM-GRP-512=
   MBUS Agent Software version 1.98 (RAM) (ROM version is 2.39)
   ROM Monitor version 2.2
   Primary clock is CSC 1
   Board State is IOS Running  ACTIVE (ACTV  RP )
   Insertion time: 00:00:04 (10w6d ago)
   DRAM size: 536870912 bytes

Should this even work?
