Who, me? Well, if you insist... AA-00-03-... is the hardware address on the older DEC interfaces, such as the DEUNA. It is changed to AA-00-04-... when DECnet is started, just as on the other boards. I don't know why DEC changed to 08-00-2B-... when they came out with the newer interfaces. Perhaps people were being confused by the -03- vs. -04-?
