rtc, The answer is "it depends." There are some boards that are 7000/7500 compatible and there are some that are not. The Route-Switch Processor (RSP) series boards are not compatible with the 7000. There is an RSP-7000 that is designed to go into the Switch Processor slot on a 7000, but isn't compatible with the 7500. Versatile Interface Processors (VIPs), the port carrier cards, require the RSP-7000. You are basically stuck with the "legacy" interface processors (FSIP, EIP, AIP, HIP) only being compatible with the RP-SP/SSP. If the legacy boards came from a 7500, they can run in a 7000. Some older legacy processors from a 7000 won't run in a 7500, depending on firmware present on the board. Use the 'show diagbus' command and look for the "7000/7500 Compatible" line for more information on cards in the chassis.
