Speaking of passive backplanes, I have a question.  What are they
used for?  The hardware engineer I asked a while ago didn't give
a satisfying answer.  In fact, I've forgotten what it was.  But it
must be good for something, because I keep seeing passive backplanes
advertised in embedded systems magazines.
