Give that man a prize! And thank's for playing the new "Part Number is Right!"

You've cracked the code Fred. Now we'll have to create a whole new corporate
part numbering system. An example of what you have described is as follows:

	PMAG-BA		Factory Installed	HX Graphics Adapter
	PMAG-BB		Field Installed		HX Graphics Adapter

	PMAZ-AA		Factory Installed	SCSI Option Module
	PMAZ-AB		Field Installed		SCSI Option Module


You've obviously been spending too much time at DECUS again if you've been able
to understand this  ;-)

				Thanx,
				  AJ   (and silly hour has struck early again!)
