I definitely recall seeing a note about support for FPC non-E's being
removed in one of the release notes, but I THINK (don't quote me here,
I'm going by vague memory) it was specifically talking about M20. The
only gear I still have with 1GE PICs is a couple old M10s, and they seem
to be working ok (for some definition of ok, where they won't take a
full table without constantly crapping out even with FEB DRAM upgrades)
on a FEB non-E running 9.5R3.
