[c-nsp] 12.0.30S (NPE-150)

[Rodney Dunn]

Gert,

The NPE-100/150/200 will run just fine
with no problems at all in 12.2 code and
that train still delivers bugfixes.  If 
someone wants to run that hardware they
can run that train.

I don't recall seeing anything about the 7200-I/O-FE
board no working in 12.2S /*yeah I know it's
not supported*/ but was there a technical answer as to
why it didn't work?
