(AA-00-03-... is registered >as 'Global physical address for some DEC machines' -- or, in other >words, is assigned to DEC.) Very old DEUNAs and DEQNAs may have address ROMs that have AA-00-03 (and maybe some other AA-00-xx addresses). Since IEEE has redefined the second bit of the first byte as "locally administrated address space" DEC no longer uses these address for new address ROMs, since these addresses have this bit set. -Mike Moroney
