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!)
