Oh, my goodness, is that confusing. In the decrypted PDF, the table in rule 29 ends at the bottom of page 17 with "Motor Name" given as "Drive motors or fans that are part of a motor controller or COTS", and "Max Qty Allowed" given as "Unlimited".

Then, at the top of page 18, "Motor Name" is given as "computing device", and "Max Qty Allowed" is given as "". Nasty, nasty, nasty. (And good catch, EricH. Thanks.)
