Jim,

You were looking for a 0 Ohm resistor.

Sometimes HP did not, in fact, insert a 0 Ohm resistor component in later
revs of some PCBs. They just added the default 0 Ohmers in etch, between
two vias. Then, if someone wanted to open the link, the etch was cut. I
guess it saved a couple of pennies.
