[e-nsp] 6808 backplane

[Peter Kranz]

I have two 6808 backplanes (and chassis) that I am planning on sending to
the dump and you can have them for shipping costs if that would help.

No, they kept claiming the backplane couldn't fail until we proved it to 
them beyond the shadow of a doubt.  They replaced saying "very rare" but 
we had it happen to another 6808 within a year.

Close examination of the backplane shows the use of capacitors, which 
change chemically over time.  The 6808 backplane simply has a limited 
lifetime, ~4 years.
