old style:
VIRTUAL_MACHINES_CONNECTED_TO_KEYBOARD = 1000

new style:
SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_KEYBOARD = 1000

It would be more elegant if you could phrase that more like "all slots are connected to the keyboard" rather than picking a number out of the air, but at least it will be a while before 1000 is too small.
