The backplanes are definitely not the same; it *might* be possible to
move a backplane between 'em (I haven't looked really closely at
what's involved to disassemble either box in a number of years).

How much is a 7505 chassis anyway?  Can't be *too* awfully bad...
(unlikely to be only $100 though).
