Multiple i/o plates for one Pulsar

Is it possible to have both classic and plus i/o plate for just one Pulsar card?

I thought only one IO board per DSP card could be installed, just cos there's no more physical connection on the card to put the IO board on.
I'd be happy to hear I'm wrong.

Yeah, I also thought it would be too good to be true.
BUT. I asked both my local dealer and CW support and they both claimed it is possible. I just think those marketing guys don't know anything...
Does anyone know this for sure? (Or know a guy at CW who knows)

If CW support told you it's possible - it will be possible! Pls keep us informed!

This is not possible with the cards (from everything I know about them) - only the Luna can have "2 plates" (I put 2 plates in quotes, as you can't choose either plate: you can only add on the Luna Expansion plate).

Best bet if you need both I/O plates is to get another Pulsar2 with the plate you want -- 12 DSPs, (6 for each Pulsar2), and two I/O plates...

You can however, add a Sync Plate ... there is a separate connector for that on P1/P2/Scopes
