[c-nsp] 6500 VSS and different line-cards on each chassis

[Jeff Orr]

No problem with different line cards.. You can mix, however I like to
create my Vss pair before I introduced line cards to the config...

Regarding the IDS or NAM cards, check the release notes for the
version of IOS to be used. VSS support for cards has been introduced
in newer versions and is on a card by card basis.
