- I believe the last B refers to "field" installable version of the board,
- basically its just a marketing part number. "A" may mean factory
- installed.

- I think you need 4.2A since HX was released around the time DECstation
- 5000/130, /240 and Personal DECstation was released (one year ago) and
- they all needed 4.2A.

- You need Xws from 4.2A.
