According to the FAQ and the patch's ReadMe file, the manual is wrong about the
existence of the Vector Board. It does not exist in CM8000.

There DEFINITELY was a problem with the patch involving the custom board. I'm
surprised that you are not experiencing it, but at least the next patch will fix
it either way.
