Missing PWR/GND pins?



I am looking for information on PCI cards that do not have all of their
ground and/or power pins connected.  I understand there are 5V-keyed cards
that do not plate out the 4 ground pins (12A, 12B, 13A, 13B) that would
otherwise be lost to the 3.3V notch.  I have also heard rumors of cards
missing other GND pins.  (The unconfirmed rumor I heard involved pin 38B).
If anyone has confirmation of this rumor or knows of other missing power or
ground pins, please let me know.  If you can also tell me how the card is
keyed (5V, 3.3V, or universal), that would be great.  Thanks for your help,
-Carl
