All I can think of is the obvious -- that you couldn't put some of the
quad-height devices in a serpentine backplane, but that isn't an 11/03
vs. 11/23 issue.  There are backplanes (H9273-A and H9275-A) where you
are supposed to change jumpers.  Unless someone has meant that the
11/03 is 16-bit and the others are 22-bit, but they still work in
18-bit backplanes.
