- It is my understanding that the display of "A" or "B" in in Operator
- Information Area (OIA), second column, does _not_ related to the
- adapter port, but does indicate whether the device (control unit) is
- operating in non-SNA ("A") or SNA ("B") mode. On a DFT device, the OIA
- may not be exactly the same as on a dumb (oops, non-programmable
- workstation) terminal.
