[rescue] E450 Audio

[Janet L. Campbell]

No E450 had vertical UPA slots for framebuffers.  The older ones had two
horizontal slots, the newer ones removed the connectors but kept the
solder pads.  You need a special replacement PCI backplate to fit a second 
UPA framebuffer, this blocks off several of the PCI slots.

A SS4 audio card will work in an E450, I have one in mine.
