[c-nsp] 10GE card for 7609

[Geoffrey Pendery]

The stuff we've been reading (look at "Supervisor Engines Supported"
on the data sheets for "Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Interface Modules", or browse the line cards for the 7600, or go into
Configurator tool) claims that the RSP 720 won't support the X6704 or
X6708 10 Gig "LAN" cards, only the SIP/SPA/ES "WAN" type cards.

I don't mean to kick off a big "6500 vs 7600" storm again, but does
anyone know if this is incorrect?
Can we buy a new 7609-S chassis, put a new RSP 720 in it, put 7600 IOS
on that Sup, then plug in a WS-X6708-10G-3C and have it work?
