Well, I went home and took another look at these cards.
They're *not* 4x7; they're 9.5"x6".

I should easily be able to fit a voice on one of these.
Of course, I sacrifice a certain amount of modularity
to do so (all these decisions!).  I haven't sit down to
reckon whether 22 pins are enough to bring all my jacks
and controls for every module in a voice to the panel.

So, are *these* a standard size?  They look pretty common,
but I've never paid that much attention before.
